Sandal Maker Cuts Leather in Harare Workshop
by Rhett Dorsey
Flat noon light falls through sheer curtains, illuminating a cluttered workbench in a Harare atelier. A craftsman sits with a curved knife slicing through thick tan leather. Polished wooden surfaces beside him catch small, sharp highlights from the glare. Stacks of finished soles and leather scraps line the floor, forming leading lines that draw toward the artisan's steady hands. The turn of seasons shows in the dry texture of the raw hides and the worn smoothness of the tools resting on the bench. A fresh cut on the leather edge reveals the fibrous interior against the smooth, dyed exterior, while dust motes hang suspended in the shafts of light.
