Katrina Dring is a Collections Assistant on MAA’s Stores Move Project. She loves working with anthropological collections with a particular eye for materials, techniques, making and repairing. Outside of work she enjoys learning various craft processes; and then feeding this experiential knowledge back into her work!
Drawing on her own experience of making a fish-skin leather purse, Collections Assistant Katrina Dring provides an insight into the making of similar Sámi leather bags in the MAA collections.
