Foundry First Friday Event:

Sole Hope Shoe Cutting Party

 

 

At our Sole Hope shoe cutting party you will have the chance to cut out shoe uppers that will be taken to Africa, sewn by Sole Hope shoemakers for a fair wage and then put on a child's foot who cannot afford a pair of shoes.

Sole Hope is based in Asheville, NC.  

Join us on Friday, April 6th from 5-8pm

Please email us at info@digfoundry.com for more information on how your skills and left-over cotton fabric can help this great cause!
