Barefoot Leather Shoe Workshop - Soil for Life

We are so excited it's almost Spring, and to be starting up again with our Barefoot Leather shoe workshops!

Your feet are unique—your shoes should be, too.

This Beginner’s Leather Workshop is your opportunity to craft your own pair of minimalist, perfectly fitted barefoot shoes. Whether you’re new to leatherwork or simply curious about sustainable crafting, this hands-on experience will teach you:

• The basics of handmade leathercraft, a skill practiced for thousands of years.
• How to design shoes that support natural movement and foot health.
• Techniques to create a durable, beautiful pair of barefoot shoes that reflect your style.

What You’ll Get:

• Expert instruction from leather artisan Summer Francisco, with over 15 years of experience.
• All tools and materials provided. Lots of different leather colours to choose from
• A one-of-a-kind pair of shoes to take home—and the knowledge to make more.

This isn’t just a workshop; it’s an experience that reconnects you to the joy of making something with your own two hands.
