You can now own beautiful footwear made out of sustainable materials. In this class youngsters and families create footwear customized to their own feet by using genuine brain-tanned buckskin and vegetable tanned leather. Learning how to craft a pair of short moccasins has never been easier. Those shown in the pictures have a harder sole, suitable for longer wear. The foundations of this pattern can be used for creating various other styles of moccasins, or even boots of all lengths.
In this class all the materials and tools required for creating moccasins are provided by the organizers. In order to understand the art of making real buckskin, people that enroll have to be really dedicated and interested to learn. Besides learning about shoe-making, students are also introduced to the history of working with traditional leather. Furthermore, people who start taking this class do not need to have any previous experience with leather-working.
