Greetings!

 

Ed the Tinker is having a shoe-making workshop Sunday, 17 Feb 2008 

12:00-5:00. Cost of the workshop is $30 for each pair of shoes you make.
This covers

the cost for all materials and supplies. Required tools will be 

provided. (Although if you happen to have your own, bring them).

 

Location: 8604 Slate Hill Circle, Frederick, MD 21704. (See Directions
below)

 

This is the shoe we will plan to make:

Please print the pattern out, and enlarge it to fit your foot before you
come. It's very hard to do that here, and will really slow you down.

  

Here are some GREAT resources on all things shoes. This includes all 

kinds of styles, tools, etc.

something for the group to share, please feel free.

 

The workshop will be at 8604 Slate Hill Circle, Frederick MD 21704

DIRECTIONS:

  

FROM FREDERICK/HAGERSTOWN:

  

Take I-70 E, exit 56. Turn left onto 144. You'll pass the National 

Guard Armory, cross over the Monocacy River. Next street on

the right is Bartonsville Road. Turn right onto Bartonsville Road. Go

about the length of a football field. You'll see the River Oaks

neighborhood on the right. Turn right. Take the second left (Slate Hill
Place). This is a very short street that ends in two cul-de-sacs. One on
the left, and one on the right. We're the second house on the left in
the cul-de-sac on the left. Feel free to park on the grass in the 

cul-de-sac.

  

FROM GAITHERSBURG/DC:

  

Directions from I-270 can get a little complex. There is a new 

interchange onto I-70 E, coming down I-270. This interchange is so 

new, it might not be reflected on Mapquest yet. Anyway, follow I-270 

all the way to Frederick, where it ends. You will pass a mall on the 

right. Just past the mall, I-270 splits. The far right lane exits 

out to I-70 E. Then follow the directions from above to exit 56, etc.

   

FROM BALTIMORE:

  

Take I-70 W. Get off at exit 59 onto 144. Curve to the right and 

merge onto 144. Follow this through the light (Spring Ridge), then 

up the hill. Note that 144 is split by a median. It merges at the

top of the hill. Once it merges, the next street at on the left is

Bartonsville Road. Turn left. Go about the length of a football field. 

You'll see the River Oaks neighborhood on the right. Turn right.

Take the second left (Slate Hill Place). This is a very short street 

that ends in two cul-de-sacs. One on the left, and one on the right.

We're the second house on the left in the cul-de-sac on the left.

Feel free to park on the grass in the cul-de-sac.
