Join Molly Grant at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC, to make your own pair of Pathfinder Oxfords! This Cordwainer Classic style is sewn together completely by hand.

Using original tin patterns from the 1920s, learn basic pattern-making for shoes and how to take exact foot measurements for a custom pair. Choose from an array of leathers and begin the shoemaking process, which is 100% hands-on, start to finish - from cutting leather, to lacing the uppers together and hand-lacing soles to the uppers. Your final product will be unique, comfortable shoes you'll proudly wear! All levels welcome; some hand/finger strength and dexterity needed for sewing.

Contact Molly with questions. See you there!
