Eldad Bahar began his work with leather during his travels abroad out of love and interest in handicrafts, where he learned the secrets of the trade.
Eldad worked guiding children and youth in various educational frameworks and was able to combine the two: to create a diverse and original array of activities and to become a prosperous business with a broad clientele over the last 10 years.
Eldad provides training and workshops throughout the country – activities for families, in schools, in summer camps, and for groups of all ages. Each participant learns techniques of creating and stamping (leather), with which they will turn natural raw material into a useful product of their choosing, such as hairpins, wallets, shoes, or bags.
The artist Eldad Bahar, born and raised in Kibbutz Afek, brings the leather craftsmanship back to life in his studio and workshops.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
