Gijs Van der Veen

Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇳🇱 Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands
  • 2003 to 2020
  • Dutch
I've worked in shoemaking from 2003 to 2020. I learned from my father and passed what I could on to 320 apprentices. I can still tell good work from rushed work from across the street. I run most mornings.

What gifts mean to Gijs: Any gift will help me keep the workshop open for evening lessons.
