Private four-day traditional shoemaking experience
Make a pair of shoes on a century-old workshop sewing machine.
The Cordwainer Shop / Molly Grant
Molly Grant offers private four-day shoemaking workshops for up to two people. Participants trace their feet, choose leather and a shoe style, then work through cutting, sewing, lacing, lasting and finishing. The studio teaches on an industrial sewing machine it describes as 150 years old, turning a small private visit into a complete wearable craft project.
Current location note / listed area: Canterbury, New Hampshire studio; private appointments for up to two students
This is an appointment-based studio experience, not a reception station or mobile class. Confirm dates, shoe style, physical requirements and travel arrangements; lodging and transportation are separate. The more complex Victorian boot requires a prior workshop. No wedding-specific package or promise that every style suits a beginner was found.
