This sandal making workshop is for complete beginners to advanced sandal making students. The sandal making process is simple and you will finish the workshop with a classic pair of sandals that you will wear for years!
In this four hour virtual workshop led by Stace Fulwiler Wood, you will learn to make your own handmade leather sandals. All the necessary tools & materials are sent straight to your door and Stace will give live instruction during the entire workshop.
During the workshop, you will learn:
How to form your leather soles to have arch support
How to cut your leather straps & insoles
How to build & fit your sandals to your feet
How to use shoe glue (all-purpose cement) to securely assemble your sandals.
How to use brass shoe tacks (AKA ‘cobbling’)
And much more…
Your sandals will be crafted using traditional techniques, your choice of leather, and some simple tools. This is a workshop for complete beginners - no previous experience is necessary. However, you’ll want to be comfortable using an Xacto knife or scissors, and a hammer. We will be working with our hands to build sandals right onto our feet, so there is some kneeling, bending, and crouching involved.
