[MR] Shoe-Making Workshop 15 Jan

[Merritt, Cheryl]

Greetings!

 

The Barony of Highland Foorde would like to invite interested populace
to participate in a shoe-making workshop Saturday 15 Jan 2005 1:00 -
5:00

 

This is the shoe we will plan to make:

However, if you're really good at this kind of thing, or your desires
take you in a different direction, you may choose to do a different type
of shoe. (I plan on doing poulaines myself).

 

Here are some GREAT resources on all things shoes. This includes all
kinds of styles, tools, etc.

Poulaines:

and make them more traditionally than Cynthia is recommending).

 

So, if you want to "play", you will need leather. You may bring your
own, or buy some at the workshop. (Not sure of the cost at this point.
We bought three hides through a business account, so it won't be as much
as it would cost you on your own. Will have it figured out by Saturday).
We will have enough folks bringing their leatherworking tools that you
don't need to buy your own unless you want to.

 

If you're interested, please e-mail me for directions and to RSVP.
