1-day Sandal Workshop

Come join a hands-on workshop where you’ll be making a one-of-a-kind pair of sandals!

In this workshop you’ll be making a personalised pair of sandals. With an entire warehouse of leather at your disposal at Leffler Leffler, the hardest part is going to be deciding which to pick! These sandals feature a comfortable moulded cork footbed and buckled straps.

With our guidance you’ll be designing and assembling your uppers, before lasting and attaching soles. This is a great introduction to the fundamental techniques involved in shoemaking. Beginners are very welcome, no experience is necessary.

You'll leave with not only a unique pair of handmade sandals, but also the confidence and skills to continue in your own time … Sandal kits and supplies are available from Leffler Leather.

Your tutor will be Lou Clifton of 'Shoe School'. She has run shoemaking workshops in NZ and Australia for over a decade, and has trained in Japan and the US.

Available in sizes 37-46.

Classes are held 9-5pm. Doors at 8:45am.

Tea, coffee and light refreshments are provided. We have a fridge and a kettle. Bring your own luch or you can purchase a delicious banh mi or rice paper rolls (GF) on the day for $10.
Free onsite parking.
Classes are limited to x3 students. Ages 16+
