@leatherschoolchicago: Ever wondered how a shoe actually comes together? In our Beginning Lasted Shoemaking 101 class (Next session starts 2/19!), you’ll spend four immersive days learning the traditional process of building shoes from the ground up — no machines, no shortcuts. We’ll provide the lasts and patterns, and guide you through each step: cutting your leather, shaping it over the last, stitching, lasting, and attaching the sole and heel. You’ll leave not only with a finished pair of handmade leather shoes, but with a deeper appreciation for the craft and all the quiet details that go into every step. No experience? No problem. (Though taking Leatherwork 101 first definitely helps!) Check our website for upcoming dates — this one fills fast! #shoemaking #shoemakingworkshop #chicagohiddengems #boredinchicago #chicagoevents
