Shoe School

For those of you that are interested, I weaned myself on shoemaking at ShoeSchool in Port Townsend, WA. Allen and Jane are fantastic folks, and they will teach you all of the steps in one place, provide you with a wealth of resources, and do it all in a fun environment. This would normally take apprenticing for several years before you learn the only the secret of even just pattern-making. You get it all here. As I've recently learned with all things in the shoemaking world: they won't be doing this forever, so take a chance now.
