Sharon Raymond is a simple ecological shoemaker, dedicated to teaching others how to make their own footwear. She has developed techniques for making simple shoes, sandals and moccasins that are described in the shoemaking books she has written.
As a simple and ecological shoemaker, I will be displaying shoemaking books and shoemaking kits for making both toddler's and women's shoes,. Attendees can use my leather and inner tube remnants to make link bracelets, earrings and zipper pulls.
What inspired you to make this project?:
Does this mean "what inspired me to make shoes?" If so, my sense was that many people could make most everything themselves to be sustainable - except for footwear. And, it has become very important to me to only promote the use of ecological materials and non-toxic cements.
