Clog Making - Endangered British

Clog Making

Clog making is a traditional British craft that dates back centuries, with wooden-soled clogs once being a common form of footwear for workers in mills, factories, and farms. These sturdy shoes were crafted to withstand harsh conditions and are a testament to Britain’s industrial and rural history. However, the art of clog making is now endangered, as mass-produced footwear has replaced the need for handmade clogs. Preserving this craft is essential for keeping history alive, as it not only maintains the skills and craftsmanship of the past but also honors the heritage of working-class Britain. Supporting clog makers ensures that future generations can appreciate the cultural significance and craftsmanship behind this iconic footwear.
