Period: Sep 11, 2023 – Sep 22, 2023

I originally did leather crafts as a hobby, and I was also interested in studying abroad, so I joined this school because I wanted to experience Italy, the home of leather. This is a 2-week course. I enjoy making bags even though it's a lot of hard work. Every day, I experience Italian Renaissance culture, visit my favorite museums, eat delicious food, and have a dream-like time.
元々趣味でレザークラフトをしていて、留学にも興味があり、今回革の本場イタリアで経験がしたくてこの学校に参加しました。2週間のコースです。四苦八苦しながらも楽しく鞄製作をしています。日々イタリアのルネサンスの文化に触れて大好きな美術館巡りもして美味しいものを食べ歩き夢のような時間を過ごしています。
