Intro to Shoemaking: Sandals
Shoemaking is an ages old discipline. It has developed from rough-hewn animal skins draped around the foot through to the fantastical styles designed by Alexander McQueen and Christian Louboutin. With this new class, we'll land you somewhere in between, by helping you craft your own custom sandals.
In our first class you will measure your own feet in order to make a pair of sandals to fit them! You'll build patterns based on your own design, then cut upper leather, assemble your pieces and create a lining. Next, you'll create a custom outsole shape, based on your feet, and an insole designed to meet your design and comfort whims. Finally, you'll attach your upper to your sole, and be all set for spring with your new kicks!
Participants will be supplied with all the basic tools & materials needed to make their sandals. However, if there are any elements (buckles, ornaments, etc) that you would like to include, please bring them to the first class, so that we can help you incorporate them into your design.
