## Resource

Join us as we talk with Andrew Rowand, a shoemaker who focuses on recreating shoes from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Andrew will take us through his process for making the shoes, where his inspiration comes from, and what started his decade-long journey. Andrew Rowand has worked as a shoemaker, for a decade. His work focuses on recreating examples of historical artifacts from the 17th century through the 19th century using period tools, materials, and methods. He has currently undertaken researching and cataloguing shoes found in early New England structures as part of his work. When he is not doing research or making shoes, Andrew serves as the curator and site administrator of the Eric Sloane Museum in Kent, CT, and on the Board of Directors of TradesUp, an organization building the next generation of creators, makers, and tradespeople through try-the-trades events, learning workshops, and community engagement.
