<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome back good shoe folk and, ignoring all the political stuff going on here in the UK, this week is important for another reason - 15 years ago James and I founded Carreducker! We can't believe it either! From sole traders to a Limited Liability Partnership and now Limited Company here we are 15 years on and still going strong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We first met Clive a couple of years ago at Cockpit Arts, when he was researching what his vision might look like in reality. He was impressed by Cockpit and we were delighted to share our experiences with him as makers; we also talked about the importance of organisations like the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust and Heritage Craft Association, both of whom have advised him on shaping Grandey's Place.</span></div>

A two-year search ended at the wonderful location we visited last week, in Much Hadham conveniently located about 18 miles north of London between the M25, A10, M11, and Stansted Airport. (If you're in north or north east London it's a 40 minute drive through the burbs and into beautiful rolling Hertfordshire countryside). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As craftsmen, it is disheartening to see the qualities of leather being undermined by the faux leather movement. Articles like the one below, from COTANCE and UK Leather, play an important part in redressing the balance, but </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">we believe that if there is one thing the leather industry must address it is its transparency and trace-ability. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Knowing the answers to the following questions would not only give the industry a stronger platform from which to counter its nay-sayers, but it is information that is increasingly important to its customers in the fashion, interiors, automotive and craft industries. W</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">e not only want to have the answers to our customers' questions about welfare, carbon footprint, sustainability and byproduct, but we want those answers to help inform where we source our leathers from and to then actively promote them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Are the hides a byproduct from the meat industry?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where do the animals live?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How do the animals live?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How far are they transported? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where is the abattoir?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How are they killed?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How far are the hides transported?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where and how are the hides tanned?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What are the working conditions like?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If we can honestly answer those questions and market the industry and our products on that platform, then I think we'd see a real shift in attitude towards leather.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Leather endures: the case of durability</span></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">written by Dr Kerry Senior, Director of Leather UK.</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>"No one can have failed to notice the growing concerns about the impact of fast fashion on the environment. In 2017, Greenpeace reported that between 2000 and 2014, global clothing production doubled, while the average amount consumers spent per item and how long they kept it, both declined. Producing this much clothing uses up huge amounts of natural resources and has a massive negative impact on the environment.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, ‘A New Textiles Economy: Redesigning fashion’s future’, found that the clothes themselves, increasingly made of polyester, are putting dangerous amounts of microfibers in the oceans - about half a million tonnes per year - and too often wind up in landfills after little wear.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is land filled or burned and less than 1% of material used to make clothing is recycled into new clothing. Throw-away garments contribute more to climate change than air and sea travel and if nothing changes, by 2050 the fashion industry will use up a quarter of the world’s carbon budget.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The contrast with leather, undeniably a material for slow fashion, is stark. Regardless of the final application, leather is made to last, often improving with age.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>This durability is one of the characteristics that make leather such a wonderful material. A pair of leather shoes might last 20 years, whereas a pair of synthetic shoes is likely to be thrown away after less than one.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Leather products can be repaired, a central requirement to achieving the circular economy. As noted in the Leather Naturally White Paper on the Sustainability of Responsibly Made Leather, ‘using resources for the longest time possible could cut some nation’s emissions by up to 70%, increase their workforces by 4% (repairing items) and greatly lessen waste’.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>It seems that in our ever-faster world, the value of the durability of leather seems to have been forgotten, lost in the quest for cheap, disposable materials now, without any thought for the consequences down the line. In her book, ‘Craft of Use’, Kate Fletcher describes true materialism as “a switch from an idea of a consumer society where materials matter little, to a truly material society, where materials - and the world they rely on - are cherished.”</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>In our fast world, materials have no value and the damage to the world they rely on is increasingly evident. In contrast, leather goods last, improve with age and may see years of use before repair or disposal is required. And this is to say nothing of the renewable and sustainable raw materials from which leather is made.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Leather is a material that is cherished by those still wise enough to see its virtues. Durability is one of them."</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Food for thought. Until Friday, happy shoemaking!</span></div>

We've had a wonderful week not least a visit to the depths of Northamptonshire to visit Maud vdB who was training with us earlier in the yea and is apprenticed at Horace Batten (one of the best kept secrets in the country). Horace Batten make beautiful riding boots, the way they always have been, by hand. Here's a quick behind-the-scenes tour...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome back good shoe folk and here we are all set for the Worshipful Company of Cordwainers Livery supper; the perfect networking opportunity for British footwear to talk all things footwear and exchange ideas with British makers, designers and manufacturers from across the country. One of the hot topics is bound to be sneakers' (trainers) market dominance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like many, I'm more comfortable in a pair of Tor boots and jeans or even, dare I say it, trainers. Continuing last week's discussions of all things sustainable and environmental this is one sector where there are huge strides to be made. Here's a snapshot from a Wallpaper article that neatly puts it into context.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The fashion industry... produces more carbon emissions than international flights and shipping combined; and t</i><i>rainers leave a particularly large and unpleasant footprint</i></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Trainers use a lot of different and ‘problematic’ materials – leather, nylon, synthetic rubber, plastic and viscose – and involve a number of different manufacturing processes – injection moulding, foaming, heating, cutting and sewing. That means a lot of resource-munching making and logistical toing and froing up and down the supply chain. Where they are made also matters."</i> </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over three-quarters of the world’s trainers are produced in China, where manufacturing is still – despite some positive moves – vastly reliant on fossil fuels. </span></i></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'Eco' is the current tag of choice and some brands are more committed and successful than others. Here are some to look out for:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why? Because </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">t</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">he consumer and media frenzy around non-leather alternatives is undermining all that is good about leather (assuming you accept the fact that it is a by-product of the meat industry). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't get us wrong, we believe that c</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">limate change is real and the meat/leather industry is definitely a contributing factor, but it's a complex debate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We firmly believe in </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">buy local, buy better, buy less. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">We don't believe that switching the same consumer shopping habits to a new product because it's marketed with eco credentials is the solution...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Eco, sustainability, environmental, 'green' are not only critical drivers in improving the planet, </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">but also marketing / sales tools used to good and bad effect.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">For instance, whilst most “eco-friendly” products are “animal friendly”, not all “animal friendly” products are “eco-friendly” because of a carbon-intensive footprint or lack of biodegradability. In some instances synthetic leather may actually be more hazardous to the environment than genuine leather and even plant-based leather alternatives often use plastic-based adhesives to glue the fibres together.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From a climate change perspective, by taking a waste product and “upscaling” it into something of value, no additional land, water, pesticides, or fertilizers are necessary in the initial production phase...the question remains what is the environmental impact as production phases intensify? </span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Other developments on the horizon include lab-grown or cell-cultured meat and “biofabrication”, lab-grown leather. Their long-term growth and success depends on consumers preferences, companies’ abilities to scale up their production and the environmental and sustainability issues that accompany the materials. </span><br />

Made in England, it is a bargain at £25.34 at our <a href="https://www.carreducker.com/shop/shoe-making/tools/grooving-tool/">online tool shop</a>. Our workshop name for it is a vulture because of its beaky point<br />

It can be used as an alternative to glassing the leather. Use it lightly as it is a bit savage, hence its nick name, the killer toothbrush.<br />

<br />
And sharp points which make it very useful for marking out the <a href="https://www.carreducker.com/shop/shoe-making/leather/pre-cut-leather-welt/">welts</a>.<br />
<br />
They cost £23.40 which may seem like a lot for dividers, but they will be the only ones you will ever need.<br />

You might think that nippers are nippers and they are pretty much all the same. Well, some nippers are more nippery than others, and these are the nipperiest nippers we have found.<br />

They have really hard, sharp teeth that don't deteriorate with clipping nails.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And they have long handles which makes clipping nails very easy.<br />
<br />
Also great for removing nails<br />
<br />
They cost £43.86, again, at the high end of the market, but they are worth it and will last many years and many pairs of shoes - available <a href="https://www.carreducker.com/shop/shoe-making/tools/nippers/">here</a><br />

And last, but not least is a nail hammer. We like this one because it has a good weight (12oz head) and a long hickory handle.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hammers are a very personal choice and different people like different weights, but we use this one in class and the students generally like it. Great for hammering nails.<br />
<br />
It costs £26.92 and is available <a href="https://www.carreducker.com/shop/shoe-making/tools/nail-hammer/">here</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome back good shoe folk. Last week we attended an interesting debate organised by Leather UK at Northampton University's wonderful, waterside campus on a bright, sunny day. The focus of the day was reviewing the current workforce situation - the majority are over 40 and very few youngsters are being attracted into the industry - and how to attract and retain talent in leather, footwear and fashion across Europe. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We last visited their old tanning education unit about 10 years ago. What a contrast the new space is, bright, airy and beautifully organised, the result of moving into a fit-for-purpose space designed around the equipment, materials and practises going on underneath its roof. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The ICLT is designed to respond to the sc</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ientific and technological needs of the automotive, fashion, footwear and allied leather industries. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The unit's Director, Rachel Garwood believes that:</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Understanding new and traditional leather processing techniques expands the possibilities of how leather can be used and...has an impact on diverse sectors, including medical and technological applications and partnerships into engineering, media and fashion".</span></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The unit is very much a mix of the very traditional and the ultra modern showing that where a machine or approach works well there's no ned to change or replace it.</span><br />

Thanks for returning. It's Friday and the sun is shining so all is good with Carreducker<br />
<br />
We have shown you lots of images of the workshop where we teach class in our new home at Chocolate Studios in Shoreditch. However, the new bespoke showroom next door has remained a little misty and mysterious.<br />
<br />
That's probably because it has taken us a few months to finish it and then, when we moved out of Cockpit Arts for good and consolidated ourselves here, it became a bit of a storage space for all of our stuff until we could find a new home for everything. We have now (pretty much) done that so it is looking rather lovely, a fitting space, literally!<br />
<br />
This is a general view of the room. We went for a dark grey walls, a pale oak floor and a vintage oriental rug in pale grey. It is generally low lit and cosy, ideal for relaxing, discussing shoe choices and doing fittings.<br />
<br />

<br />
We found some vintage Parker Knoll armchairs and covered them in purple velvet, comfortable and luxurious.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The bespoke shoes are displayed in a 50s rosewood cabinet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And we display the bespoke lasts on G clamps attached to an iron girder, one of our favourite features of the room.<br />
<br />

<br />
We have made a leather store and cutting table which doubles as a dining table when we have corporate events.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We had a lot of wine boxes, great French clarets (thank you Dad), shame we didn't get to drink them though. So we made a set of shelves and we keep the current bespoke work in them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ0KZ2vA63gfvfRqPXK5XruVBEbAM3fHtQG4sK2VrSrjHPkddTNXu2KJl6SxXJR68t8EGRPW7ovga2XfucUfp_5ofw5ZTHNJIGge0jLqw1bwhvazmL-BlTfUlDKzOYGWAE6oV1AyANTro/s1600/IMG_20190816_151656-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ0KZ2vA63gfvfRqPXK5XruVBEbAM3fHtQG4sK2VrSrjHPkddTNXu2KJl6SxXJR68t8EGRPW7ovga2XfucUfp_5ofw5ZTHNJIGge0jLqw1bwhvazmL-BlTfUlDKzOYGWAE6oV1AyANTro/s400/IMG_20190816_151656-01.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And finally, when we have customers, we can offer them a selection of single malt whiskies. Obviously they remain untouched unless we have a visitor.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaTJwJt_pyxMIbXk2WOs0RAY0qNiWcR9Mk_70kxqtAt9pKKUvOdujNPGqw52ll79pBXc0nvy0UbAUDEjHtHXgpwWwPl3za-nquqW-WnEVh1ZyHYRAovQfN2AvF6iAntGaVeRaUQBwndFM/s1600/IMG_20190830_145934-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaTJwJt_pyxMIbXk2WOs0RAY0qNiWcR9Mk_70kxqtAt9pKKUvOdujNPGqw52ll79pBXc0nvy0UbAUDEjHtHXgpwWwPl3za-nquqW-WnEVh1ZyHYRAovQfN2AvF6iAntGaVeRaUQBwndFM/s400/IMG_20190830_145934-01.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
These whiskies are also what we drink when we have a <a href="https://www.carreducker.com/shop/shoe-and-leather-classes/shoe-making-course/shoe-shine-moon-shine/">Shoeshine and Moonshine</a> evening. Where a group of friends or colleagues come in and learn a bit of shoe care shoe shining. It's a lot of fun - everyone who does it raves about how much they enjoy it. It's no surprise to us, good whisky and good company, what more could you ask for?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So see you soon in the bespoke showroom or for a Shoeshine and Moonshine class. Until then, happy shoemaking!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We've had a packed summer of teaching with students from the UK, the USA, Norway and Italy. It's been great fun, we've met some lovely people and some beautiful shoes have been made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most recently we were joined by Synne Kaasin, Head of Product Development for the original penny loafer company, Aurlands in Norway; classic loafers being made in a beautiful place...<a href="https://aurlands.com/">take a look here.</a>.. (we weren't jealous at all!) <span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Synne made a chic pair of black Derby shoes with a straight toecap. She had a great time, despite the London heat wave...<br />

We hope that you have had a good week and that life is treating you well<br />
<br />
One of the things we love about what we do is making shoes that are really personal and just what the customer wants. This is what real bespoke is - something bespoken between the customer and the artisan. Something collaborative which leads to a unique design each time<br />
<br />
So the next pair of shoes is an example of that<br />
<br />

<br />
The customer came to us with a pretty clear idea of what he wanted, a simple pair of black Oxfords but during our discussion it seemed that he also wanted to make them special and personal. This was not something he said directly but it was more oblique than that.<br />
<br />
This is part of what we do during the initial consultation - listen. Because it is not always what a customer says. it is sometimes what they imply. Sometimes their ideas are not fully formed so we have to interpret what they say.<br />
<br />
So it seemed he wanted customisation so we suggested a toe medallion with his initials which he really liked the sound of.<br />
<br />
The next step was to design a few options and let him choose.<br />
<br />
With monograms in a medallion we try to make it subtle so the the customer knows, but it is not always immediately obvious to other people<br />
<br />
This is the option he chose.<br />
<br />
<br />

The other thing we had to do was play with the size to get the proportions right.<br />

And here is the finished shoe without the trees at this stage as he wanted them to wear to a wedding. We will make the trees once we get them back.<br />

So one thing we always say to people going into the trade is listen to the customer. It might seem obvious, but it really makes for a better product and a happier customer which is, after all, the aim of the game.<br />
<br />
And that is it for this week. Until next time, happy shoemaking!jimmyshoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08051471340549178353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046771237050008716.post-37198649689445821332019-07-26T14:41:00.001+01:002019-07-26T14:41:26.069+01:00Carreducker's London - Cornelissen<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Greetings, greetings, dear shoe people, once more unto the breach. We hope you have had a great week and, if you are in Europe, are not suffering too much with the heat. We reached 38 C yesterday which was pretty extraordinary, not in a good way.<br />
<br />
This week's post is part of our occasional series of places in London which we love. And on this occasion it is an art supply shop called Cornelissen in Bloomsbury. It was founded in 1855 by a Belgian lithographer called Louis Cornelissen and supplied pigments, paints and stretched canvases to local artists until the present day. Famous customers include Walter Sickert, Rex Whistler, Francis Bacon and Anish Kapoor.<br />
<br />
It is a beautiful shop both inside and out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you enter, you immediately notice that this is not your run of the mill shop. The dark wood fittings are original and full of character, including the stairs to the basement<br />

Another unique feature of the shop is the floorboards which are very creaky so it is impossible to wander round unnoticed.<br />

We buy beeswax, colophony and tallow from here which we use in our home made <a href="https://www.carreducker.com/shop/shoe-making/materials/thread-wax/">thread wax</a>, available from our online supply shop.<br />
<br />
When you buy these dry materials, they are housed in floor standing wooden cupboards and the staff magically know where to find everything.<br />
<br />
The packaging is simple but really lovely.<br />

<br />
Cornelissen is on Great Russell St very near the British Museum, in Bloomsbury. So if you are visiting London and want to do something different, or even buy your own ingredients for making thread wax, you could do a lot worse that visit this hidden London gem.<br />
<br />
And that is it for now. We hope you have a good week and look forward to seeing you back next time. Until then, happy shoemaking!<br />

<br />
We have been joined in the workshop for the last two weeks by two medical doctors from the UK who wanted a working holiday where they learned to make something. And what better than a pair of shoes?<br />
<br />
And here they are, Clare and Ling at the start of their shoemaking journey.<br />

We had a great two weeks, teaching the whole process from blocking the insoles to preparing the feather/holdfast.<br />

We had a leftie this time which always keeps us on our toes with the demonstrations as you have to reverse the usual way you do things.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
During the two weeks we tackled all aspects of making shoes by hand, including skiving toe puffs and stiffeners; hand lasting; and hand welting with a little thread making and bristle attaching sprinkled in<br />
<br />
They were both very capable (which you hope for in a doctor!) and took to the shoemaking very well. We also had a great time discussing medical issues and hospital stories which were quite shocking as you can imagine.<br />
<br />
After stitching the soles by hand, and drinking lots of tea, came the heel building, one of our favourite stages because of the technical precision need to get the heels balanced; the same height as each other; and sitting flat.<br />

It was a thoroughly enjoyable two weeks and both of them made a pair of lovely looking shoes. It is quite an achievement and a very big well done to both of them.<br />
<br />
As you will see below, the sense of achievement on the final day is amazing.<br />

We hope you have had a great week.
<br />
<br />
This week we are going to share a pair of shoes which we made for a couple of very good customers who both wanted to own a pair of black crocodile shoes.<br />
<br />
First up is this pair of beauties.<br />

This shot really shows the beauty of the heel. We don't make women's shoes very often so it is nice to have the variety.<br />

We really enjoyed designing this pair as the design was so cool and simple - a plain oxford but with no laces. This posed a few problems as we had to put an elastic gusset under the tongue. The fitting was a challenge but we got there in the end.<br />
They also had a cranberry red lining which was a subtle touch of luxury.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We ordered 4 skins as each pair needs 2 skins so that you can match the scales on the left and right shoes.</div>

The other pair was a pair of simple loafers without a band. Because there was no band, the apron was a challenge to stitch, but the result was excellent.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With crocodile, we always suggest that the style be very simple because the scales of the skin can do all the work and a complicated shoe style would make the whole effect too busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We think both these pairs of shoes follow that principle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And last up is a monogrammed toe medallion. These are quite popular with our customers as they really personalise the shoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was a PH monogram. When we do this, we try to make the design slightly abstract so that the medallion is not too obvious.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome back good shoe folk and here we are finally basking in sunshine and 30+ degrees! Sewing welts and stitching soles is currently a very sticky experience; it's definitely too hot for thread wax and tar to be left out, so ours is resting in the larder to stay cool, along with the dog!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">MUSINGS</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the joys of being a craftsman is meeting other craftsmen whether they're shoemakers or from associated trades like saddlers and leather workers. It was great to visit Frankey in her new workspace at Cockpit Deptford last week and to see her new work drawing on her experience in shoemaking, bag making and interiors. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Visits to her workshop and the other leather workers at Deptford reminded me of the array of specialist tools, rules and techniques that have developed with each trade, but which, if you have a moment to reflect, often do a similar or even the same job. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>We often pay a premium for hand-made objects that combine utility with beauty: they seem to have 'soul'. But who is behind their design and manufacture? Over the last six years Jonathan Foyle, a QEST Ambassador, has penned the 'Artisans' feature for the Financial Times Weekend, investigating the inspirations, talents, traditions, and legacy of scores of craftspeople. This talk takes you into their workshops to reveal the state of British Craft today.</i></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think pattern making is one of the most important parts of shoe design so we're delighted to have Fiona Campbell back again this summer to teach our five-day pattern cutting course. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We've had to juggle dates a little, so the course now runs from the end of July into August. We're delighted to offer it at £649. We need a minimum of 4 students to run it, so why not give your design capabilities a boost?!</span></div>
