My name is Derrick Ayidanbila a Ghanaian artisan in leather works, born in upper east region in northern part of Ghana. I live in kumasi the southern part of Ghana. I graduated from Kumasi senior high school as a general art student. Upon graduation i took apprenticeship training in leatherwork by a professional, and further obtained a master craft person certificate from NVTI institution. Cosmic leather Craftsmanship is about designing and produce leather products like sandals, wallet, belts, watch straps and many more. I blend leather and Afro centric woven fabric like Kente to design the products, also, i use Afro centric Adinkra symbols which hold great significance in Ghana with the aim to promote African culture to the world. my goal is my products to go global and compete in the global market. I have given apprenticeship training to many youth like myself to become professional leatherwork artisan for free as a way of producing more skill person in my community in order to reduce the high rate of unemployed youth in my community. My products are handcrafted, so i use ICT tools and simple tools to design and make my products.
