A tour round Circle clogs ⚫βšͺ🟠 I thought I' A tour round Circle clogs ⚫βšͺ🟠

I thought I'd show you the circle clogs that I was wearing in my last post in more detail - swipe for every angle. They're such a simple style that works well with lots of colour or a full monochrome outfit.

The circle details are all over this design from the eyelet facing to lace ends and the reverse quarter circle on the hand cut beechwood sole.

I'll have these with me at @arthouseleics 6-8th June

Art for your feet πŸ˜‰ I'm really happy to be brin Art for your feet πŸ˜‰
I'm really happy to be bringing my clogs to @arthouseleics
This June 6-8 keeping it local! It's a lovely event and one I usually visit - looking at art in some gorgeous houses. 

 Jackie Leggett aka @jackielovesclogs joins us for Art House this year. A little more from Jackie about her work:
'I am a footwear designer and maker creating modern, vibrant funky clogs, paying homage to my Great Grandfather who produced traditional clogs in Cumbria. Inspiration for my designs comes from my love of vibrant colours, nature and traditional shoe details, playfully exaggerating features such as fastenings, fringing, punching and marking into the leather.'

Clog photos at Crummock water ❀️ this scene is Clog photos at Crummock water ❀️ this scene is threatened

Whenever I visit my native Cumbria it's become tradition to take a few clog photos beside Crummock water on this wall.
These photos were taken last year and it may be the last.

I've just heard that this view is under threat by the water authority - head over to @scalehillhotel to find out more details and how to sign the petition by April 30th

Day 2 #findamakerweek A Day in your working life Day 2 #findamakerweek A Day in your working life

Today isn't turning out to be a normal day, my cars broke down and I'm sat waiting for rescue πŸ™„

While I wait I've collected together things I might get up to - the two things I always start with - welcoming my girls πŸ”to a new day and doing some tai chi.

Then clog making gives me alot of variety of jobs from designing, pattern cutting, sole making, hand cutting, dying leather, sewing, altering the fit, lasting, packing and if the weathers too nice up at my new allotment digging.... Not all on the same day!

To see lots of amazing crafts and makers head over and browse @find.amaker by @craftfestival

Hello it's #findamakerweek I thought I'd poke my Hello it's #findamakerweek 

I thought I'd poke my nose in (always late!) to the celebration of craft. @find.amaker is a curated collection of makers and all things craft by @craftfestival of which I'm a member.

This is me Jackie, outside my workshop being distracted by birds and wearing one of the first pairs of clogs I made back in the early 1990s.
But my story didn't start then. I decided, stubbornly that I was going to be a shoe designer age 15 (55 is closing in 😳)
My dad had a shoe factory making ladies shoes so I spent weekends and holidays working learning shoe making.

By the time I did my degree, clogs were my thing and started making them after I graduated selling them to Helen Storey, Office shoes (when it was cool and small) and others. After some time away doing other shoe stuff I came back to the clogs 10 years ago.
That's the potted version of my cloggy story, I'm guessing footwear will always feature - I'm sticking to clogs for now!

The final processes I give to the beech wood clog soles - rubber stamp my timbertoes logo on then hand polish twice with wax.
All done to my personal workshop soundtrack - the chirping of the sparrows and Robins one of which pops in for chat, I have to check I've not shut it in when I lock up 😁

Had a trip up north to the Colne Valley West Yorks Had a trip up north to the Colne Valley West Yorkshire
Home of textile mills, clog making, wearing and rolling moors.
After doing a couple of days exploring the moors me and the corporate elf went in search of traditional, clog making history @colnevalleymuseum - a row of four cottages showing life in the 1850s of a working weavers cottage. Included is a rescued clog makers workshop - totally brilliant!
This traditional clog making is where my original inspiration came from - I whirled it round in my head and came up with my modern interpretation.

Sun's out and I'm in the workshop finishing a pair Sun's out and I'm in the workshop finishing a pair of Flower one bar clogs πŸ–€πŸ’š 
They're a joy to wear, easy going with rays of sunshine carved in the upper.
It's starting to feel like spring, but maybe not ankle sock weather yet! Anyway you get the jist you can change the look by wearing them with different socks and maybe tights for now.

The upper for this style is cut out of one piece of leather - so there are less seams.
It looks like there is a lot of waste but a good bit of juggling and I can fit the smaller patterns in the middle. Each hand cut round paper, the pattern is weighed down by a vintage brass die.
