Creating the next generation of leather craftsman
Creating the next generation of leather craftsman
Our boot making class focuses on traditional western boot making. It is a three week course with Sundays off, and is limited to three students. During this class you will learn all the steps from custom fitting a last to finishing your boots. You will make one pair of calf skin boots with one row of decorative stitching and will have a variety of colors to choose from for your vamps, tops, and piping. This class is devoted to the skills and techniques of making custom boots, so there will be no inlay or overlay on your boots; however, we will cover and practice inlay and overlay techniques.
