Lisa Sorrell, cowboy boot maker

“How to Make Cowboy Boots” class in Lisa’s studio

I’ve been announcing that I have no more boot making classes for the rest of 2015, but I’ve had one spot open up. The dates are July 27-August 7. The class is $3750 but this link will only allow you to pay the deposit of $1875. The final payment is due upon arrival for the class.

I have an extra work bench in my shop, and Paige’s business is going really well, so I cleared off the extra bench and told Paige it could be hers. She’s super excited and has promised to keep it neat (ish).

I’ve made a small start on this pair of boots too. They have a turquoise foot with chocolate wing and counter tips. I have the wing and counter tips done but there’s a lot more work to go.

Completed design and fitted last–proof I actually got some work done today.

Paige saw me working and thought it would make a good photo.

Then, since she had the camera, this happened.

I worked on fitting lasts all day today. It’s not the most glamorous part of my job, but it is the part that makes all the pretty, artistic bits possible.

I use a double handled knife to trim the heel breast on my cowboy boots and I’m frequently asked where they can be purchased. I’ve finally tracked down a source for them and they’re now available through my web site.
