2. It is sure now, that I go to Portland, Oregon this August to keep a course for a small community. They organized themselves, invited me, so I go. I believe they have ONE open spot (and due the limited facility only one – be quick)

3. I work on a comprehensive guide for beginner shoemakers on DVD. I would need some feedback, if you would buy it. I have two versions in my mind:
A. one DVD with a short introduction from everything: pattern making, upper making, cemented construction
B. two-three DVDs about the same.
Comments are highly appreciated!
What will you be teaching in Portland, Oregon?? Please let me know soon. I might be able to travel by then!
What about the book?
dvd is very good! I vote for it!
The second version “B” is more detailed?

this is my 4 pair of shoes which i made. what You think about it?
To me the opinion of the master is important.
Thank you.
i would definitely buy the DVDs. If version B is more detailed, I would buy that one. I am very interested in pattern making.
Please come to California soon (I don’t care where, I will travel to learn from you) or Portland again after August. I would make sure to be there. Thank you.
Maybe in the next year in LA
Just read, that you were going to make a DVD on Cement Construction & would like feedback on the idea. Think it is a wonderful idea. Think it would be better..to have two DVDs.
Also a book/booklet to go with it. What sort of patterns
would you include?
Are you planning a series of ‘Construction’ DVDS including
Welt, Norwegian welt, etc, A booklet with each would be nice
as you have a reference in front of your eyes. Also useful if
you have measurements, to have it quickly at hand than
keep replaying DVD.
I am attending the High Heel course in NY this month. I think you should do a DVD course on women’s High heel, Flats, sandals. I would buy it in a heart beat! And I know people that will too. Also you can sell the lasts and books with it. There is not much instructional material on shoe making and even less on woman wear. I’m very exited about the course !!
Would definently purchase any DVD sets you produce
Thanks! It is almost ready.
