Welcome to our new posters. We all wish you well and hope you'll posts lots. Image

Please allow me to say this; if you'll set a premise to do each step along the way to the best of your abilities, you'll go far. Boot and/or shoe making is a difficult learning curve. And for a long time, the more you learn, the more you'll see there is to learn. Don't be deterred. And have fun.

I wish you well and look forward to your experiences along the way. Don't be bashful. Because really, we're all immune to death by embarassment.

Best Wishes,
Paul

Hi everyone,
My name is Carole and I am a shoemaker in Sydney, Australia. I studied custom-made shoemaking for 2 years part-time in Sydney, then moved to Adelaide where I studied it for another 2 years full time with teachers Simon O'Mallen and Alison Smith. I am back in Sydney but unfortunately due to financial constraints have only kept it going as a part time hobby. My dream is to make shoemaking my profession, and am hoping next year will bring me greater steps in that direction. I am especially interested in historical footwear and traditional techniques, but love everything else as well! I feel like a fledgling in terms of my knowledge, but hope to learn more from everyone here.
Cheers, Carole

Welcome to the Crispin Colloquy, Carol. We have several members who are from your part of the world. The time zone is no problem on the Internet.

You'll find you're in good company here we tend to be wildly interested in just about any and all aspects of shoe or bootmaking.

Enjoy!

Welcome Valeriy (I don't know the Russian diminutive). How long have you been making shoes? Who did you learn from?

Where is Nizhnekamsk? How far is it from Budapest?

Here's hoping you'll be a regular and post photos of your work.

Glad to have you on board.

Hi Valeriy,
welcome to the forum. I saw your nice work on your web page. I liked the riding boots very much.

Janne

ps about posting photos, check the formatting link in the left frame. Then scroll down to images, attatchments and clipart. Just try a couple of times and it will work

Hello to All,

My name is Tia, and I am from the East Coast of the US. For far too many years I suppressed my interest in shoes and boots. Deciding, finally, to jump into the craft, and just do it!

It's premature to call myself a shoe and boot maker, but I have constructed semi-wearable prototypes. I've been trying to train on my own but will finally attend a class in January with Koronya in Budapest, yay!

So thankful for the forum!

Welcome Tia,

Glad you could join us.

Sounds like you are on a good path going to Budapset to study with Marcel. Most of us wish we were so lucky.

Hey Tia,

Welcome. You'll have a blast with Marcell in Hungary.

You live in Durham? You should come by the shop sometime for coffee.

Bests,
Kieran
