Fatma Erdem

Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇹🇷 Ankara, Ankara, Türkiye
  • Little Lakeview Trades Guild
  • 1990 to 2022
  • English, Turkish
I've worked in shoemaking from 1990 to 2022. I learned from my father and passed what I could on to 1,790 apprentices. Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I never rush a conversation.

More about Fatma

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
