Francisca Giovana Marques
Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices
- 🇧🇷 Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
- 1982 to 2018
- Portuguese
I've worked in shoemaking from 1982 to 2018. I learned from my grandmother and passed what I could on to 1,940 apprentices.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I always make time for a proper cup of tea.
More about Francisca
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.

What gifts mean to Francisca: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
