Clogs are a great introduction to shoemaking! Throughout this workshop students will be introduced to basic shoemaking techniques and with the use of only a few simple tools will have the opportunity to design their own pair of clogs from scratch!
OVERVIEW:
Students will begin the workshop by selecting their designs from over 10 trusted patterns provided and then will have the opportunity to customize their patterns to match personal measurements, proportions and design preferences. Please note: There are several design possibilities although your design must be open toe/ open heel as we are not working with lasts.
Once we have settled on our design, students will then peruse our large assortment of premium leather to select their own unique color and material combination. From there we will move into the following stages: cutting, assembling, fitting, soling and finishing! After 12 hours of class time, each student will have the opportunity to walk out the door wearing their masterpiece!
SKILL LEVEL:
All skill levels are welcome! No previous shoemaking or sewing experience is required. We will introduce students to traditional hand stitching and hardware setting techniques to assemble our uppers! Depending on your choice of design you may also have the opportunity to use our industrial stapler!
