Bag Making Intensive Short Course (#1) – Mami

” Thanks to you, I was able to have a very fulfilling study abroad experience. Thank you very much.”

BAG MAKING LESSON
Students are carefully guided through the bag-making process one by one!
The students create a design from a rough sketch and make a paper pattern based on the sketch.
The leather is cut, the leather is stripped using a leather-stripping machine, and the bag is sewn using an assembly
machine.
The process was very detailed and difficult, but with the guidance of the veteran craftsman, a very nice bag was created.

「おかげさまで、とても充実した留学生活を送る事ができました。ありがとうございました。」

バッグメイキングのレッスン
カバン作りの工程を、一つ一つ丁寧に指導してもらいます!
ラフスケッチからデザイン画をおこし、それを元に型紙を作成。
革を切り、革剥ぎ機を使用し革の裏を剥ぎ、組み立てミシンを使って縫製。
工程が細かくあり大変な部分もありましたが、ベテラン職人の先生の指導もあってとても素敵なバッグが出来上がりました。

Enjoying time off!
We also enjoyed sightseeing in Italy.
We ate gelato, went to a jewelry store, and went to look at materials for bags!
Florence is a world heritage city, and you can see a variety of historical architecture just by walking around.
We also went to a winery in the suburbs of Tuscany and had many other experiences that you can only have in Italy.

オフも満喫!
イタリアならではの観光も満喫しました。

ジェラートを食べたり、宝飾店に出かけたり、バッグの材料を見に行ったり!
世界遺産の街、フィレンツェは歩いているだけでさまざまな歴史的建築物に出会えます。
また、トスカーナ郊外のワイナリーにも出かけたり、イタリアでしかできない経験をたくさんしました。
