This workshop is for Georgia K–12 public school educators.

Educators are invited to join EcoRise at Scraplanta Creative Reuse for a hands-on leatherworking class in conjunction with the Southwest Airlines Repurpose with Purpose Goes to School Program**.

Teachers will be provided free access to repurposed leather seats and materials. Space is Limited.

Public school educators with all levels of experience, grades K–12, are welcome to attend.
