An on-the-spot Work Experience item at High School and Higher Secondary/VHSE in which a student makes articles from rexine, canvas and leather.
Rexine, canvas and leather are sturdy materials used for bags, wallets, files and purses. This item makes small articles from them by cutting, stitching and finishing.
In the Kerala School Sasthrolsavam Work Experience Fair (Pravrutthiparichayamela) it is an on-the-spot item for individual entrants, open to girls and boys at High School (classes 8-10) and Higher Secondary/VHSE (classes 11-12). Each child works alone for a fixed period at the venue, with the product then displayed for viewing at the district and state stages. It is an item for the older levels, so judges expect precise workmanship and a clear understanding of materials and tools.
The student cuts from a pattern, stitches edges, attaches fasteners and trims. Judges look at straight stitches and neat edges.
Every Work Experience item uses the fair’s single shared score sheet: the workload and the child’s own contribution carry 40 marks, skill and completeness 25, knowledge of raw materials and tools 20, and social utility, speciality and marketability 15. For products using rexin, canvas & leather, that means making it yourself earns the workload marks, accurate cutting and stitching show skill, knowing the materials and tools shows knowledge, and a useful article earns the utility marks.
