Ever wanted to know what this thing called bootblacking is?

Ever wondered what to do, once you’re in the stand?

Ever wondered how much to tip?

Well, Bootblack KL is coming to the Uassigned Gallery as part of the Wicked Reboot Naarm Artfest to teach these three things!

Covering off the basics of bootblacking, they’ll be teaching the cleaning/conditioning and polishing method.
There will also be an opportunity for you to work on something so BYO shoes/boots or something leather!

If you’ve ever sat for a bootblack, you know there is an energy exchange. KL will help you understand the finer points of sitting for a bootblack and share some history.

Also, tipping! YES, bootblacks don’t set a price but there is an understanding that the service they offer is valued with tips.

So, come along, bring your leathers.

If you want to continue the fun afterwards, why not pre order your ‘start up kit’ which will include all the polish, brushes, cleaning and conditioning things you’ll need to make your whole shoe rack shine!
