There is something deeply satisfying about slipping your feet into a pair of sandals you made entirely with your own two hands -- and in this two-day bespoke leather sandal making workshop in Seattle, that is exactly what you will walk away with!
Rooted in the legendary tradition of Barbara Shaum, this leather craft workshop guides you through every step of creating a Greek-inspired sandal from scratch. You will design your own pattern, cut and dye the leather, prepare straps and footbeds, and master the construction and finishing techniques that turn raw material into something you will genuinely want to wear. Along the way, you will get a real introduction to the world of leather, leather dyes, and the industry-specific tools that make it all come together. Whether you are hunting for creative things to do in Seattle, looking for a one-of-a-kind bachelorette party idea, or simply ready to try a leather work class that teaches a true craft skill, this workshop meets you right where you are -- no prior experience necessary.
One important note: due to the adhesives and solvents used during the workshop, this class is not recommended for students who are pregnant or trying to conceive. Everyone else, consider this your warmest possible invitation to sit down, get your hands a little dirty, and sole-fully make something beautiful!
Please note:
Leolo Handmade Shoes would discourage any student who is pregnant or trying to get pregnant from attending a class due to the adhesives and solvents used.

Leolo Handmade Shoes is a Seattle-based brand built at the beautiful crossroads of artistry, sustainability, and human connection. Founded by Leanne Corcoran -- a painter-turned-shoemaker with an MFA and a lifelong love of design -- Leolo brings a deeply personal touch to every pair of shoes it creates. Leanne's journey to shoemaking wasn't a straight line, but rather a joyful, soul-led leap toward something she'd always dreamed of, and that passion shows in every stitch.
Each pair of Leolo shoes is the product of a 220+ step bespoke process, rooted in an 18th-century tradition that takes roughly 40 hours of hands-on craftsmanship to complete. It's truly a family affair too -- Leanne's mom, Maureen, still lends a hand in the studio. Leolo believes that what you wear should mean something, and they're on a mission to prove that beautiful, handmade things and a more sustainable world can go hand in hand!
