Sandal Making





Sandal Making
We are running both 1 and 2 day courses in Bristol in January, March & July
—.London dates coming soon.—
On the 1 day course we will be making a 3 Strap sandal similar to our Juniper sandal style but using a Birkenstock style foam sole.
On the 2 day courses we will be making our Woven sandal style again using a Birkenstock style foam sole. This is because in our experience people find it more enjoyable to work with than our sole units which are hard to work and take a very long time to shape.
“This course is fantastic - a warm, friendly atmosphere where you are given the space to create something beautiful, using the extensive knowledge that Ollie and Lucy have. I learnt so much more about leatherworking and footwear, and came home with a pair of sandals which I could hardly believe I’d made myself. Now I want to do another one!” - JAMES - Bristol workshop 2018.
We are only able to make sandals to our standard sizings - though if you would like to make a pair to suit a more unusual fit please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we may be able to accommodate. contact us at hello@ottowinfootwear.co.uk
The courses run from 10am - 6pm.. though we try and get everyone finished by 5pm
