LAST HURRAH
Over the last 12+ years we have produced over 40 pieces with more than 100 individual shoe lasts and we continue to explore possibilities for the remaining lasts. In 2008 our father stumbled upon a vast pile of wooden shoe lasts at a Northern Ontario fishing camp. They were marked for firewood and he knew we’d find a more constructive purpose for them. The lasts captivated us with their workmanship and sculptural beauty and we’ve been experimenting with them since then; creating a limited series of objects that honours the craftsmanship with which they were created and pays tribute to the artistry of the cobbler and cordwainer.
