This workshop is for our shoe styles - if you'd like to make full shoes with us, check out our other workshops.
What you'll do:
- Choose from our stock of reclaimed leather
- Choose your size and cut out your pattern
- Learn to shape and pin the shoe to the sole
- Handstitch the leather to the sole with waxed linen thread
What's included:
Our experienced makers offer expert instruction and support, and everyone walks out in their own pair of shoes. All materials are provided and no experience necessary. All our leather is reclaimed from local factory offcuts, and we use premium jute soles sourced from southern Spain, which are thicker, more robust, and comfier than any other espadrille sole we've seen, so you'll be sure to love wearing your shoes.
Where we'll be:
Forest London is a houseplant oasis offering plants and other products that bring nature into the home. Their newly-opened Deptford location is a slice of green bliss, hosting monthly craft workshops in everything from macrame to candle-making.
What people say:
"I felt so welcome and loved learning the process, and thrilled that I walked out with a pair of shoes I love."
"I LOVED the workshop! I had such a great time. Hafiza was super sweet and kind, patient, and a great instructor."
