Class Description

Description

Learn techniques to work with leather and EVA foam to make sandals that fit the contours of your foot and your toes well. It’s a long day, come prepare!! All materials included.

You can choose from about 5-6 sandal templates, use simple straps, with slots within the insole board, and make a pair that is still unique to your feet.

A little more complex designs will require 1.5 day. A second day will be necessary as you will play with patterning which takes time. You will need to book a day-rate sandal class with us separately for complicated sandals.

WE ALSO RECOMMEND RACHEL SEES SNAIL SHOES SANDAL MAKING KIT OUT OF PORTLAND, AND ICANMAKESHOES SANDAL COURSE ONLINE (FROM UK), TO MAKE SANDALS FROM HOME!

but hey- it’s always fun to make together- in-person- with friends!
