Pachydermatology (we know it is not a real word but we like it) is the art of designing and making elephant themed handbags. Our pupil, Ciara Louise, is a fine exponent of the pachydermatologist’s art, learning and applying new skills whilst working on this project, including designing her pattern, dyeing and cutting material, using a sewing machine and braiding and attaching the carry strap. We are now looking forward to the matching rhinoceros and hippopotamus themed bags.
