🎉 You're Invited to the Inaugural Bootblack Skillshare & Social! 🖤👢
Hosted by: Second City Bootblacks
📍 Where: Leather Archives & Museum, Chicago
📅 When: Saturday, August 2nd | 1:00–3:00 PM CST
Calling all aspiring and seasoned bootblacks!
Join us for the very first Bootblack Skillshare & Social, an afternoon dedicated to hands-on learning, shared wisdom, and community connection. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience behind the stand, this is your space to grow, connect, and shine.
🔧 Featured Demo: "What's in Your Kit?"
We’re thrilled to welcome Allison Boots, San Francisco Bootblack 2019, who will give a live demonstration of her kit essentials, tips, and techniques. Bring your questions, curiosity, and maybe even a few tricks of your own!
👢 Skillshare & Shine Time
After the demo, we’ll roll up our sleeves and get to work together! Bring your kit, your boots, and your enthusiasm—we’ll be bootblacking side-by-side, sharing skills, swapping stories, and building community.
This event is open to bootblacks of all skill levels. Come connect with fellow leather lovers and get your hands dirty (in the best way).
✳️ Entry is free. Donations to the museum are encouraged.
🧰 BYOK (Bring Your Own Kit)—but not required to attend
