BUILD YOURSELF A PAIR OF NEW SUMMER READY CLOGS...

Join me on in my Bristol studio for a day of making and craft yourself your own pair of bespoke leather clog sandals. This is a fun yet challenging day of learning new skills.

This workshop requires a degree of strength in the hands and may not be suitable for people with reduced mobility or strength in their hands (cutting/hand-sewing leather and hammering in the tacks is hard work!)

Tuesday 5th July from 10am to 3.30pm with half hour break for lunch.

YOU WILL LEARN

How to cut out leather from a pattern
How to punch holes in leather
How to use a variety of leatherwork tools
How to hand stitch leather
Specialist leather glueing
How to fit the leather uppers to your foot
How to adjust the fit of your sandals to fit your feet
How to hammer the leather upper to the wooden sole

WHAT'S INCLUDED

A wide range of responsibly-sourced Italian coloured leather to choose from Solid brass buckles and tacks
FSC registered lime wood Swedish-sourced wooden clog bases - either 5cm or 8cm heel
Tea, coffee and biscuits
You will need to bring a packed lunch or else there are lots of fabulous cafe's nearby for lunch

SIZES OF THE SOLES

Please read the sizes carefully as they may vary from your regular shoe size. In particular, the high heel bases are very small and narrow. You will want to add about 5mm to 10mm to your foot length to get the correct size. Let me know if you're unsure - hello@leatherneedlethread.com. There may be scope to change your soles on the day if you are very unhappy with the fit but I can't guarantee that all sizes will be in stock then.
