Grace Dinham Shoemaker! Hello!

- Shoes - Faith - Courage - Ice Cream


Hello there, I am Grace Dinham, a shoemaker based in Melbourne. Welcome to my website.
Here is a portfolio of my work both shoes and other... I make shoes with courage, intention, thought and happiness.
I have a cert-4 diploma in shoemaking and make out of a studio based in Naarm (Melbourne). Everything I make tries to minimise waste and maximise re-purposing offcuts.

I want everyone to have a pair of shoes that honours their foot, body and walk, the animal to which the shoe is made and the history to how shoes are made.
I am interested in making meaninful things and my shoes embody this. Please enjoy. And do not hesitate to Contact me in regards to enquiries of any kind.
