During this premiere in person event, Licia and Scarlet will teach you how to care for your leathers! Have you ever been curious about bootblacking? Have you a desire to learn a new skill to add to your repertoire? Do you ever fantasize about devoting service in caring for that special human’s leathers? Here is your chance!
Licia has made a long commitment to her local community to teach and invest in assisting to raise up the next generations of bootblacks.
