Made by hand for feet - With Ruth Emily Davey of RED (#114)

We're off to Wales this week to talk to Ruth Emily Davey about her life making shoes. We talk about how she quite unintentionally started as a shoemaker's apprentice, grew to love the craft, her mentor and friend Alan James Raddon, why we can't all wear the same type of shoes and what a community means for the craft. And what it's like to discover your unique and special invention is suddenly pirated and sold in a plastic version.You can find Ruth Emily Davey on the web at  ruthemilydavey.co.uk and on Instagram as @ruthemilydavey.Garmology is researched, booked, hosted, edited, published, paid for and everything else by Nick Johannessen.
