Sharon Raymond
Shutesbury, MA
Sharon Raymond has been making shoes for twenty years, and has taught shoemaking at craft centers in the northeast, including Brookfield Craft Center, Peters Valley Craft Center, and Guilford Art Center. Throughout she has used the simplest techniques, to make many different types of shoes, from moccasins to flip-flops, to felt boots and recently on to “high-heels”! Since people usually have great ideas for designing the upper parts of shoes but don’t know how to obtain and work with soling, providing shoe soling to which “uppers” can readily be attached is one of her primary shoemaking contributions. Each workshop she will be teaching or co-teaching at Mt uses a different type of soling; “soles with an edge!” for felt boots, “soles with holes, stitched in” are used in the nuno felt workshop, and “soles with holes, stitched out” are used in the leather shoemaking class.
