Leather Slipper workshop w. Cathy Edwards (NEW DATE!)

Join Catherine Edwards here at Globe Arts Studio for a full day 6 hour workshop making yourself - or the adventurous creative in your life - a pair of gorgeous slippers, in plenty of time for Christmas!!

Learn to cut your own patterns to the size you require and use them to trace onto top grade unwaxed leather, then cut out and mark up for stitching.

 You will be using the traditional Saddlers’ two handed sewing technique to stitch your slippers together and add a small heel. With your finished slippers as a size guide, create your own envelope style storage bag using super soft suede and attach a hand rolled leather toggle to fasten.

The making process is completed entirely by hand using genuine leatherworking tools including vintage and antique pieces from the tutors own collection.

 Suitable for beginners or the more experienced, work with beautiful leather, covering a range of skills, with tools and materials provided, techniques include cutting to pattern, hand stitching, and colour matching fabrics for upper and outer pieces.

Working in a small, friendly group with lots of individual attention, supervised individually by catherine, this inspiring one-day workshop is a great way to introduce yourself to working with leather.

Catherine Edwards trained as a boot and shoemaker. working for many years before a residency at the royal armouries, which led to the production of her first collection of unique leather goods.
