LSM Presents – Bootblacking: a Course in Leather, Faux Leather and Culture

In this workshop we will go over basic care of materials such as leather, vegan leather and latex. How to use various materials and some basic repair as well as the culture and history of bootblacking. It isn’t just about shining shoes and apparel, it’s about service, intimacy and bodies. Making the person in your chair feel empowered and taken care of. This is about queer sex and power, and a long history of loving leather culture.
