The @bostonleatherguild welcomes the public to join me for my presentation “Ten Footer Shoe Shops - History & Living Traditions” on Monday March 9th, 2026 at the Somerville Public Library West Branch. As a reminder 😂 I am a French-American bootmaker, artist, scholar, and educator based in Massachusetts. I founded the bootmaking atelier Saboteuse in 2015 and was a Mentor in the Mass Cultural Council’s Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. With strong roots in Lynn, MA, a former shoemaking hub, I research the evolution of footwear production in Massachusetts to inform my contemporary practice and possible futures in handmade footwear.
This presentation and demonstration is supported by the @somervilleartscouncil , a local agency supported by the Mass Cultural Council @masscultural , a state agency.
The talk is from 6:30 to 8:45 pm and is free and open to the public. The Somerville Public Library West Branch is located at 40 College Ave. Somerville MA 02144.
