Adult Beginners’ Leather Slider Workshop - from11am to 3pm.

Unlock your inner footwear designer with my four-hour beginners’ shoemaking workshop!

This workshop has been designed to introduce you to traditional shoemaking skills, enabling you to create bespoke leather sliders that you can wear all year round!

A selection of leathers and all necessary shoemaking tools, along with laces, beads and other embellishments, will be provided on the day.

Structure of the day:

-Design inspiration – with mood boards to help release your creativity 

-Made to measure pattern cutting – to ensure a perfect fit!

-Cutting and embellishing – hole punching, stitching, beading and lots more…

-Assembly – making sure everything is snug and secure

-Finishing – tidying up for that professional look and feel

What to bring on the day:

A pair of socks – that you do not mind walking around in on the floor.

Feel free to bring along old belts, denim and any components that you don’t use anymore – this is a great opportunity to upcycle, creating an extremely unique pair of shoes!

There are places available for up to 6 makers – please let me know your UK shoe size when booking.
