Two-Day Sandal Making, weekday

During this one-day class, students make a pair of flat 'Roman' style sandals in vegetable tanned leather, to fit their own measurements.

The process covers pattern cutting and a variety of traditional leather-craft techniques including hand stitching and scything, edge polishing, beveling and finishing.
