Traditional Wooden Shoe Carving Demo

The Belgian Heritage Center will host Luke Traver from Luke’s Lost Arts, who will present the art of wooden shoemaking, explaining the process as he manually carves a pair of wooden shoes. He uses only three primitive handmade tools and a wood vice. His programs are enhanced with history discussions followed by a question-and-answer session with those in attendance. Come join BHC on October 25, 2025, from 10:00 am to noon to see Luke in action, see the wooden shoe artifacts, and share any stories, pictures, or artifacts you may have about wooden shoemakers in the collective Belgian heritage. A $5 per person donation is appreciated. For more about Luke's Lost Arts visit his website at https://lukeslostarts.com/wooden-shoes/
