Beginners Sandal Making Workshop in Bristol

Imagine your perfect pair of sandals and then make them in this introduction to shoe making!

You will be provided with a back strap pattern and a chance to design your own toe straps under guided tuition. Learn about what works and what doesn’t so you can get a great fit on your unique feet. We don’t use shoe lasts which means we can work around all shapes and sizes to create something really unique and bespoke.

The best thing about this workshop is that you will leave with all the skills to make sandals again at home using easily accessible tools and equipment. For more of an insight into the process, scroll down to the video at the bottom of the page.

This is a beginner shoe making class so no previous experience is necessary. It is however a full on day that requires concentration throughout. Please be prepared to be challenged!
