Join Stace Fulwiler for a day of sandal making! In this one day workshop Stace will walk you through making your very own pair of handmade leather sandals. No experience is necessary, and both men & women are welcome. Stace will walk you through the entire process and classes are kept small to allow for plenty of individual assistance. All the tools and supplies are provided, and you’ll have many different leather colors to choose from. You will choose from three styles: a toe ring sandal, a sandal that buckles at the ankle, or a two-strap slide sandal. The strap width, leather colors, and strap placement is all up to you. View photos of past workshops and student work here.
You will make your sandals using your own feet to dictate fit, style, and color. Making sandals entirely from leather, including the soles and heels, is a traditional way of shoemaking that has been practiced for centuries. And in my opinion, they are also the most comfortable, beautiful and durable! In the process of making your sandals, you will also learn basic leatherworking techniques and become familiar with shoemaking tools. You will leave with your very own pair of self-made shoes and a list of shoemaking resources in California. Bring a friend or family member and enjoy a day of working with your hands to craft a pair of sandals you will wear for years to come.
Please note, space is VERY limited and you must sign up by March 6th so we have time to get the right materials for you! Sign up early!!
