April 2024 Bootblack Lab

Shine On Detroit is a no-pressure meet-up for bootblacks and leather lovers of all skill levels and orientations. This meet-up will be all bootblack lab time, a chance to sit with other folks who love to love on leather.

Shine On Detroit is the result of a desire to sit with other folks who care for leather, swapping stories and skills toward building connection. It is a meet-up and skill share for folks to explore the art of bootblacking.

We are returning to The Dovetail in Warren and will have the back area reserved for the timeslot again. Please plan to dress appropriately for the venue. No outside food or drink is allowed, and and we ask that you consider patronizing the cafe during the bootblack lab.
