From Janne Melkersson "I will arrange a course on back seamed tall boots in New York the week before the round-up in Wichita Falls, could you please post about it on the forum. I can still take a couple students." “For those interested in shoe and/or bootmaking: I, Janne Melkersson, a shoe and bootmaker from Sweden will be offering a tall boot top class in Brooklyn, New York late in September 2009." "The subjects covered will be as follows: How to measure the leg, making the pattern, crimping the vamp, assembly, closing and finally how to tree the boot. The class will cover tall back seamed boots and will take four working days i.e. 30 hours. We will not cover the lasting and making methods. Prior experience with the usual process of lasting and bottoming welted footwear is suggested since they are not to be covered in the class." "Students will practice the measuring and pattern making. I will demonstrate the entire process of closing and treeing the tops." "In the class I will produce a classic English dressage boot as shown in the photo. It will be made until the same stage as in the photo but with trees inserted." "The dates are not yet set but it will probably take place 26th to 29th of September." For any information, including costs, etc. please contact Janne at janne.melkersson AT melkershoes.com | ||
