About this event
A hands-on bootblacking workshop from Mufasa's Pride Productions that teaches the craft, ritual, and sensuality of this leather tradition. Whether you're curious about the culture or looking to refine your technique, this Saturday afternoon session brings together folks who get what makes bootblacking special — the care, the attention, the connection. Come ready to learn and connect with the community.
