shoemaking

2024 - 2025 leather, nubuck, stubbornness

I also make shoes for fun. Here are some samples. I'll add more pics soon.

Fun fact: My Foundation hired a full time shoemaker on Salt Spring to teach people how to make their own pair of hand-made shoes. If this interests you, there is a signup sheet here.
