Vindolanda Shoe Patterns - MarcusNorwood - 01-15-2015 Hi all, I would like to make a collection of shoes found at Vindolanda. To do this I need shoe patterns. I have searched on Google and did a thread search here and can not turn up a collection of patterns. Could someone direct me to a source for Vindolanda shoe patterns? Thanks, Marcus Vindolanda Shoe Patterns - Crispianus - 01-15-2015 As yet what there is, is pretty scattered... but with luck there will be a book out soon... look for articles by Carol van-Driel Murray and Elizabeth Greene, and "Vindolanda, The Early wooden forts Vol3" for the interim report.... Vindolanda Shoe Patterns - Gunthamund Hasding - 01-16-2015 Well Ivor here knows what it speaks sure Martin Moser will pop up at a certain time until then try his website: http://sutor.jimdo.com/shoes/roman-shoes/vindolanda-calceus/ he has a lot of insights on the page with some good and very good literature as well one piece of advice I got myself too, each foot is different so you will have to do yourself the pattern so it fits, plus you need some tools and some leather working knowledge http://www.florentius.com/calcei-main.htm will answer lots of questions Vindolanda Shoe Patterns - jvrjenivs - 01-16-2015 Master kniediem does sell patterns. Vindolanda Shoe Patterns - Martin Moser - 01-16-2015 Who called? :-) Well, the first 2 answers said it all IMHO. Besides that all you can do is hunt for pics on the internet or go there and look at the shoes on display yourself. You'll have to come up with a pattern yourself then, though. I'm planning on making a few styles from there in the course of this year, so bear with me. Btw, the correct name from Jurjen's post is Meister Knieriem (Stefan von der Heide), at http://knieriem.net/. He does first class work. |
