New for 2026: SELF’s Bootblack Academy 301
This advanced 8+ hour intensive designed to deepen skills and support continued growth.
On Friday, we’re bringing back the popular Dyeing and Patina class in response to requests for more time to learn and practice these techniques. Daisy Blue will revisit the foundational principles taught in their BBA 201 (2025) class and provide expanded hands-on practice.
On Saturday, we are thrilled to welcome Alistair—Bootblack Europe 2020 and International Mr. Bootblack 2022—who will be joining us virtually from across the pond to share expert guidance on managing mold and mildew.
On Sunday, Keriis, SE Bootblack 2024, will cover care for non-leather items, including latex, rubber, canvas, and more. The weekend concludes with a moderated roundtable discussion led by Daisy Blue, titled “What’s Next,” guiding participants through thoughtful prompts to help shape the next steps in their bootblacking journey.
