I've worked in shoemaking since 2009. I learned from my grandmother and passed what I could on to 800 apprentices.
I can still tell good work from rushed work from across the street. I bake for the whole street at New Year.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
More about Peace
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
