But Tabsbek, a villager in Sandekkumu Village, Salhusong Township, discovered a new selling point from the leather weaving process.
43-year-old Tabsbek Abulhazi has been learning leather weaving skills from his elder brother since he was 25 years old. At first, leather weaving was used for grazing, but he did not expect this skill to become another way of making a living for him. Now, A well-made leather product can bring him thousands of dollars in income.
Tabsbek Abulhazi introduced that with the change of production and lifestyle, fewer and fewer people are familiar with this skill. In order to pass on the leather weaving skills, Tabsbek took in two apprentices.
He feels that leather weaving is an ancient skill that cannot be lost. If anyone wants to learn this skill, he will pass it on to them without reservation.
