Leffler Leather 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 one-of-a-kind 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.

Beginners are very welcome. No experience is necessary!

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.

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. Refreshments are provided - if you don't want to bring your own lunch, choose the lunch add-on at checkout and we'll fetch you a delicious fresh banh mi.

Classes are limited to x3 students.

Please email us if you would like to request a custom workshop date. (Min x2 ppl).

Please note: This class involves the cutting of thick leathers using craft knives, hammering and glueing. (If you're interested in a gentler shoemaking experience, try the 1-day Sneaker workshop).
