Cosy Toes, Felt and Leather Slipper Workshop
Description
Step into cosy comfort and join us for a day workshop crafting your own, one of a kind slippers. Learning ancient skills with Catherine Edwards, leather designer/maker and master craftsman for over 30 years. Choose the size and the colours you require and combine them with butter soft suede and gloving leather for insoles and uppers. The soles are traced onto top grade unwaxed leather, then cut out and marked up for stitching. This workshop is brilliant for beginners and those wanting to brush up or improve their leatherworking skills, we will be using the traditional two handed sewing technique to stitch your slippers together, along with many other tried and tested methods. The making process is completed entirely by hand using genuine leatherworking tools including vintage and antique pieces from the tutors’ own collection.
