Bootblacking is the art and knowledge of caring for leather, most commonly leather boots. It's more than just polishing a pair of boots. it can involve the cleaning, conditioning, dyeing and polishing of all leather items.
Being able to shine a pair of boots does not make one a Bootblack. A Bootblack has often devoted many hours to training, product evaluation and practice. A Bootblack is knowledgeable and share information to other who wish to learn the art. My goal is a Bootblack camp for people to to learn bootblacking skills and techniques. This can be for those interested in learning the skill or enhance current skills through a collaboration of the bootblack community.
