2020 – Jess
Jess is a sassy bootblack that has been sharing her bootblacking skills for 3 years now. Jess likes to spend her days working with or wearing leather, and taking care of the beloved leather pieces people trust her with.
Jess volunteers with local groups such as Twisted Village and YEGas to help build her community and facilitate all kinds of shenanigans…. And takes her vitamins regularly!!
Her love of leather history and education has led her to start a monthly bootblack club, where she shares her passion for bootblacking, educating and assisting anyone who wants to learn her favourite craft.
