<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">ARTIST STATEMENT</span>Emma Greenwood’s younger years were influenced by healthy doses of hiphop and bike messengering, which gave her a huge love of sneakers. A handmade sneaker is a rare and coveted item, and Emma’s intention as a craftsperson has always been to elevate the sneaker from a mass-produced, disposable fashion trend to that of the handcrafted, customised and precious. There are very few makers of handmade sneakers in the world, most shoemakers veer to the purer menswear staples of hand-welts, but Emma sees no reason why traditional techniques can’t be used to produce a sleekly futuristic feel. <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Queens</em> is both a reference to the borough of New York City, which played a major role in the birth of hiphop, and a nod to the artists who collaborated on this piece, Emma Greenwood and Nish Cash. Nish is one of Australia’s best aerosol artists; she is also a workshop facilitator and arts officer who has had a prolific output over the last 20 years. Nish’s graffiti moniker is ‘Ishk’, and she has lent a classic outline for Emma to use in the design of these sneakers.</div>

Hi gang!<br />
<br />
I am coming out of the woodwork in 2015, and the first event is the <a href="http://www.craft.org.au/learn/summer-workshop-series/">Summer Workshop Series</a> run by Craft Victoria.<br />
<br />
All the workshops are at Art Play in Birrarung Marr, just behind Fed Square.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.craft.org.au/event/leatherwork-skills/">My workshop</a> in leatherwork skills runs for three Tuesday evenings starting Feb 3rd, from 5:30 - 8:30pm.<br />
<br />
Here is the course description -<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: #f0eee8; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; direction: ltr; font-family: Geneva, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">An introduction to leatherwork using leather</strong> from three different animals over three weeks: cow, goat and sheep. Learn innovative and interesting ways to work with these distinctly different materials via range of simple projects including a tassel keychain, a covered journal, a folded pencil case and a hand-tooled belt. Participants will be guided through these projects, which showcase key leatherworking techniques and specific tools.</div>

Each week will include examples and images of makers using these hides in a variety of ways, beginning with a history of shoemaking and leatherwork, and an overview of the tools, techniques and processes used in both conventional and contemporary practice.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f0eee8; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; direction: ltr; font-family: Geneva, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Students are required to have dexterous hand skills, confidence to handle sharp tools and be ready to embrace the physical nature of working with leather.</div>
<br />
There are 9 workshops in total, lead by some amazing tutors, and organised by the fabulous folk at Craft. I'm really looking forward to teaching, maybe I will see you there?!<br />

If you have been following me over on Instagram (@emmagreenwoodmakes)
you would have seen all these pics already, but for those of you that I
only stay in touch with via Blogger, here's what I've been up to!<br />
<br />
I have been on domestic duties for most of the year, helping my family
stay on track as Daddy/Sam works ridiculous hours making new sculptures.
We have all been very busy, happy and healthy, and are looking forward
to seeing Sam's work in new galleries over the next few months.<br />

Hello all, I'm just letting you know that I'm having an extended break from blogging, as I have too much on my plate to keep up with everything at the moment.<br />
<br />
As you know I am no longer a frequent blogger, and I prefer to keep the subject matter shoe related, but the honest truth is that I am not doing much making right now, and probably won't be till Hazel is at school, which is hopefully next year.<br />
<br />
We are planning some home renovations, so I'm working at my desk job late into the night when the kids are asleep, to earn some extra coin.<br />
<br />
My daily exploits are still visible on Instagram @emblueski, so do come over and say hi.<br />
<br />

Elizabeth organised this piece late last year, and in the intervening months it had slipped my mind, so it was a lovely surprise to see it all put together. I'm super-happy with the way it turned out, but just wanted to clarify that I am not, in fact, a part-time musician, I'm not sure where that obscure piece of info came from!?</div>

Anyhow, you can click on these images to make them big enough to read, I hope that you enjoy it and gain some insight into my pedantic technique-driven world.</div>

My current happy place is <a href="http://happyvalleyshop.com/">Happy Valley Shop</a> on Smith St. I love it not just because they are my most recent stockist, and not just because a dear friend works there, but because it is so darn deluxe!</div>

A lot of stores these days are too pretty, too visually busy, too colourful (never thought I would say that!), too girly, but Happy Valley Shop is the antidote to all of that. Best book selection, great mags, well considered gifts for guys and gals, it's a beautiful big space which is peaceful and airy, and always makes my savings card a little less full!</div>

I was showing this book to a friend the other day, and I realised that a number of the makers profiled in <i>Handmade in Melbourne Volume 2</i> aren't making any more. This book was published in 2009, but already so many of the creatives have had a career change, sold all their tools and equipment, or put things on hold, for whatever reason.<br />
<br />
It made me feel sad that these makers had gone to the lengths of presenting their work for inclusion in this book, had written profiles about their passion for their chosen craft, the desire to keep their skills up, to grow their practice or their business, but now only 4 years later they are no longer pursuing that dream.<br />
<br />
There are also a few inclusions in this book who have gone on to great things, their business has expanded, product range is new and exciting, they have gone from little local markets to massive stockist lists, and huge fancy markets, <a href="http://www.angusandceleste.com.au/">Angus and Celeste</a> I'm looking at you!<br />
<br />
Over the years I've had some ups and downs grappling with what it means to be a maker, and recently had some fantastic conversations/peptalks with Esteemed People Who Know Important Things, who assured me that I just need to keep making, but to be honest there's no way I could stop tinkering.<br />
<br />
So in between Christmas and New Years' festivities, endless bickering of my children, an Instagram feed full of peeps on holidays, and both of my neighbours renovating, I have somehow found the time to begin a new pair of shoes.<br />
<br />
It took me a while to decide on which leather to use<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Without filling this already image-heavy post with too many words, let me finally introduce my Christmas goodies for 2013. As many of you on Instagram will know, I have been cutting, stitching, attaching, painting and crocheting these beauties for a little while now, and I think that finally people are ready to hear about them!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've taken many studio shots on the iphone, but also got some great photos taken by <a href="http://www.nataliejeffcott.com/">Natalie Jeffcott,</a> and you can tell she is super talented and knows her schizz. Thanks Nat!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have both an<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/EmergeDesign?ref=si_shop"> Etsy </a>store, and one over at <a href="http://emergeshoppe.bigcartel.com/">Bigcartel,</a> possibly confusing but best to spread the eggs into many baskets. The entire range is also available at <a href="http://www.craft.org.au/">Craft Victoria</a>, they have the wreaths, as do <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KLOPPERWARES">Klopper </a>in South Melbourne Market. I am not selling wreaths online as the postage is a bit crazy, plus they are rather fragile.</span></div>

I debuted my Christmas collection, which was too early for most punters, but at an 'event' market, as opposed to a regular market, I figured I would show everything. Surprisingly I sold a few Christmas pieces, and had the love from the organised Christmas folk!</div>

Hello peeps, it's all happening here, as I make last-minute preparations for the market tomorrow. It's on at the Royal Exhibition bldg in Carlton, from 6-10 pm tomorrow night, and then 10-5 pm Saturday. I've set up my practice stall in the studio to see what should go where, printed price cards etc and I think I am ready for action.<br />

Lastly, we went to visit the Royal Melbourne Show yesterday, it was the last day and happened to be Leo's 9th birthday, so there were a lot of treats and rides. It seems that Hazel is a real daredevil (no surprise really) as she loved the rides and wanted to go on all of them!<br />

We are big fans of Usborne Publishing around here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Quite a few of their colouring/activity/puzzle/sticker books have found a happy home on our bookshelves, in fact I have my very own colouring book of patterns that the kids know they are FORBIDDEN to touch. So when Granny gave Leo this set of 50 science cards we were all smiling.</div>

On weekends I can sometimes be an organised parent, suggesting that the kids find an experiment which we can create together. The latest one is the 'growing bicarb crystals' card, actually we've been letting them grow for about a month.</div>

On a tray we have a plate, two jars, and a piece of wool suspended between with a paperclip on either end. In each jar we poured a cup of hot water and added four heaped teaspoons of bicarb soda, stirring till dissolved. The wool wicks the solution up from either end and as the water evaporates you can see crystals growing over a period of time.<br />

This is the day after we set up the tray. The water drips onto the plate from the lowest point of the woolly 'skipping rope', and you get different crystals forming on the plate. </div>

After 3-4 weeks. There is almost no solution left in the jars now, the crystals are starting to dry out and they are quite firm to touch. They are about the size of cauliflower florets, and are so beautiful. You can see that they are also growing all over the rim of the jar and down the sides.<br />
<br />
Next time we might put food colouring in each jar, maybe a different colour in each, to see what blends we get along the woolly rope. I'll be sad to dismantle this experiment but there are so many more to make. I'll keep you posted.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10279550991744219626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862698811510461868.post-87480274965530282792013-09-25T07:22:00.002+10:002013-09-25T07:22:23.966+10:00Encased<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made another lot of the glasses cases last week, I love the florals theme and I just had enough blue felt to line them all. Here's the cracked vintage floral being fed through the skiving machine. I can also just see my Wind in the Willows cassette, which Hazel and I have been listening to in the studio, my parents used to play it to me as a child.<br />

Hey peeps, I'm thrilled (and somewhat daunted) to announce that I'm having a stall at the next <a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/melbourne-markets.php">Finders Keepers</a> here in Melbs! Dates are Friday 4th and Saturday 5th October to be precise.<br />
<br />
This is the reason I've been making like a mofo, with huge to-do lists every day of the week, including the evenings. Things always take a bit longer than I'd like, but it's all coming together, slowly but surely.<br />
<br />
If you're following me on Insta @emblueski there are a lot of updates on what I'm making, and I promise to be more regular with blog updates too. On the menu today are Baby Sneakers, they are so darn cute, very fiddly but very satisfying. I'll blog those during the week.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the spring sunshine! <br />
<br />

...and here they are finished. They've found new homes at Craft Vic, Five Boroughs and Klopper.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the feedback regarding my previous post, I know it often appears that other people have it all, when we are probably all a bit guilty of painting the best possible picture of our lives, despite the mess and chaos.<br />
<br />
We are battling coughs and colds brought home from daycare, interrupted nights
with the small girl, last night we struck a deal that she would spend
all night in her bed, lo and behold it worked! <br />
<br />
I've got a few new projects on the boil which are very exciting, I'm also in full production for my little Christmas range, and I'm doing the Finders Keepers in early Oct, so it is full steam ahead!<br />

<br />
I've been busy on Instagram @emblueski, and chasing my tail on a day-to-day basis, wondering how the rest of you keep up with kids, domesticity, creativity, beloveds, family, work, life.<br />
<br />
This seems to be a major topic of conversation for me, musing upon how others do it, why I struggle with it, how it appears that everyone else is kicking goals and really making progress with their work, while mine seems so painstakingly slow and frustrating. Excuse my miserable tone, I was up at 5:30 this morning with a sick girl and feel like a zombie, entirely unprepared for the huge week ahead of me.<br />
<br />
I have been wondering about blogging, what's it all about, why do I feel like I'm talking to myself, should I continue to use this space for shoemaking chat etc. I haven't decided.<br />
<br />
So while I launch into the busy Sunday evening routine of bathing kids and somehow stopping them from constantly arguing, here are some images from July.<br />

So I'm still in Italy, sweating it out in Rome with the family. We have one day left and then the ridiculously long, uncomfortable flight home. We will be going from extremely long days, sunset after 8:30 pm, temperature around 30 degrees, to Melbourne's wintry weather, and extremely short days. I hope our immune systems are ready.<br />
<br />
It has been a very inspiring trip, we have seen a lot of art, both contemporary and classic, and we have eaten a heap of pasta, pizza and gelati. The kids have had a lot of attention, Hazel is a big attraction, as all the Italians wave at her and talk to her, calling her bella, or carissima. Travelling with kids and a Granny is, um, well, interesting, logistically challenging, expensive, and ultimately quite amusing. The kids are a big icebreaker.<br />
<br />
I have been paying attention to the style of the Italians, hot damn they are sharp dressers! In Venice I was gobsmacked, Florence and Rome less so, but generally they have amazing knitwear, leather products (of course), and eyewear/spectacles etc.<br />
<br />
I was particularly inspired in Florence, as Tuscany is the home of the leather industry, with many tanneries, workshops and manufacturers. A friend was visiting the San Miniato region to meet with leather producers, and I eagerly await her findings!<br />
<br />
I love the traditions of Italy, whether it's food, arts/crafts, family, living with mucho gusto! And so in a very circuitous ramble, I finally get to introduce this short film, showing me in my studio, using traditional shoemaking techniques.<br />
<br />
My buddy <a href="http://banditfilms.tumblr.com/">Tom from Bandit Films</a> was commissioned by Craft Victoria to make a few films on Melbourne artisans/craftspeople, including Philip Stokes, Nicholas Jones, Emily Green and myself. Over the course of a year or so, Tom visited me in the studio and as he filmed we chatted away about shoemaking and crafting, there is no dialogue here but plenty of visual information.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it, seeing it all while I am away from home makes me a bit teary, as I do miss my studio, and am storing up all this inspiration and energy for a big frenzy when I get home. I especially love the closing shot of me and Little Hazel, she was only 18 months old, such a munchkin!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10279550991744219626noreply@blogger.com0
