Description
Learn how to make your own pair of leather sandals, fitted to your feet.
As with all lama workshops, the focus is on thoughtful design, quality materials, and making something you’ll actually use. you’ll learn to fit, shape, and assemble a pair of sandals using a strap construction — cutting your pattern, punching and shaping the straps, and assembling everything onto the sole.
worth knowing before you book: this is a strap-based technique, not lasted, so closed-toe sandals aren’t possible in this format — lasting is a different process altogether that we currently don’t offer. What you’ll leave with is a proper pair of open, strappy sandals, made entirely by your own hands.
Plan for 8-9 hours, spread across the day. small group, all tools and materials provided, although you’re welcome to bring your own soles, fabric, etc, if you wish for something specific.
We work with Italian vegetable-tanned leather & Solid brass/bronze hardware.
These materials are chosen for their durability and the way they age — developing character over time rather than wearing out.
I’m Dani, designer and maker behind LAMA Leather Goods.
My work focuses on creating timeless leather pieces using vegetable-tanned leather and a considered approach to design and construction. In these workshops, I share the process behind my work and guide you through creating your own piece.
LAMA Leather Goods WORK–SHOP is an independent leather studio based in Berlin.
Workshops take place in the same space where all pieces are designed and made, offering insight into the process behind handcrafted leather goods.
