Sandal Making Workshop
August 13, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
$350Join Rachel Corry of Rachel Sees Snail Shoes for a shoe making session, specifically geared toward making Sandals!
We will be spending an immersive day making unique sandals totally custom built for your feet. Rachel will bring many leather colors to choose from: one for your upper and one for your footbed. You can choose whether you’d like a leather-sole + stacked leather heel or rubber soles.
We’ll move through every step of the process, starting off by customizing trusted patterns to suit your own feet and design preferences. Then we’ll cut and assemble the leather pieces, paying close attention to fit. Next we’ll attach the layers to a heavy leather sole and stacked leather heel, adding nails to secure each connection point.
This class is hard work: be prepared to use utility knives, adhesive, hammers, wooden mallets, shoe anvils, and to get barefoot!
Please bring a packed lunch or snacks (or there are many good lunch options nearby) and easy to slip on/off shoes are recommended.
no cancellations please!
