Class Description:
Join us for a hands-on, full-day workshop where you'll design and craft your very own pair of one-of-a-kind sandals from scratch. In this intimate class, each pair is made to measure, shaped precisely to your feet for the perfect fit.
You'll choose from a curated selection of leather upper colors, optional ribbons, and rubber sole colors to make your pair truly your own. Add a personal touch with custom letter embossing, and if you're feeling extra playful, explore our Charm Bar—a selection of add-on charms (sold separately) to give your sandals some flair. You’ll be able to make slight modifications to the design of the demo sandal (pictured) if desired.
No prior shoemaking experience is necessary. You'll learn step-by-step how to cut, assemble, and finish your sandals using traditional techniques and simple tools—and walk away with a finished pair that’s stylish, comfortable, and uniquely yours.
Please bring a lunch or be prepared to pick something up next door during our 30-minute break. All tools and materials are provided.
Feel free to email the instructor, Katya, with any questions about the workshop ahead of time at info@staviskystudio.com!
