Russell Reed

Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇦🇺 Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
  • Little Cedar Grove Shop
  • Since 1978
  • English
I've worked in shoemaking since 1978. I learned from my grandmother and passed what I could on to 2,690 apprentices. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 25 years later for another job.
