Flicking through our shoemaking library and re-discovering hand sewing instructions from the 1950s. Exciting after all this time to tweak the old habits and see the difference they make.

And something new to test in class for research purposes.

Who else has a favourite bottom making technical book and which one is it?

We already miss that lovely smiling energy ☀️.

New in the Toolshed - Japanese ramie thread.

Ramie is a natural fibre from a member of the nettle family.

It is prized by shoemakers for its strength and smooth finish. Stitch soles like a pro!

We import it directly from a Japanese manufacturer to keep the price as low as possible

Worth the wait… simple black toecap Oxfords with buff laces, minimalist and modern.

Oscar Young determinedly squeezed their making and finishing in around foundation studies, architecture school and first year projects….with a bit of climbing and cycling thrown in too 🤣

Mercy got her heel lifts cut out ready for a day of heel building in a few weeks.

A sharp knife and some serious grit and determination made light work of Baker’s Tannery Colyton leather as chat turned to machines, press knives, clog soles and wooden heels 🤭

Great to have Matthew Gill in the workshop topping up his shoemaking skills as part of his Craft of Shoemaking Award. Can’t beat face to face learning with tweaks to techniques, different approaches and on-the-spot problem solving.

If you want to see the hot competition his winning boots were up against visit us at Oxo Tower Wharf on September 12th and 13th when we’ll be hosting THE SNOBS, an exhibition of the finalists’ shoes and boots: and opening registration for the 2027 Craft of Shoemaking Awards Worshipful Co. of Cordwainers

We don’t do bags.

Cherelle finished this beautiful, custom designed duffle bag yesterday. It’s got pockets for her wool and needles: knitting is a craft she’s discovered as a mindful, happy place.

The bag is made from leather recycled from a favourite family chair, a familiar reminder she can carry with her.

Some requests are too special to say no to.
