> Starting the 18th of July, a week after Faolan's leatherworking class, I'm
going

as it

will
> simply be an overview of general shoemaking in the Middle Ages in Europe.
> Everyone is encouraged to take that one -- even if you aren't interested
in
> taking any of the other classes.

> The weeks after that we will be scheduling one night a week for a gradual
step
> by step shoemaking.  There will be some homework as each stage is reached
(some
> seams take longer than others), and people will be expected to provide
certain
> materials for themselves (leather, an sharp awl (straight or curved),
needles,
> thread, a small bit of violinist's resin...) these will be discussed more
fully
> at the first overview class).  No one is expected to know anything about
> leatherworking when we start.  I hope it will not take more than 4-5
sessions of

longer,
> that's ok too).

Practice, but

one

Fighter

the
