How Dutch Clog Makers Are Keeping An 850-Year-Old Tradition Alive
A pair of Dutch wooden clogs are called Klompen, almost an onomatopoeia. While the clogs are iconic to the Netherlands there isn’t much modern demand. Business Insider takes you along with one of the few craftspeople still making Klompen by hand.
There are only 10 clog makers left in the Netherlands hand-carving wooden shoes. And there are even fewer clog painters. The craftspeople who are left are near retirement. To keep their crafts and businesses alive, they’ve gotten creative. At one of the oldest clog studios still standing, Martin Dijkman recreates Dutch masterpieces out of thousands of mini clogs.
