Weekend Workshop

This is a 2 day beginners course suitable for those with no experience or previous participants (some people have returned 2 or 3 times). You are guided at every stage to help you complete a pair of shoes to take home. The shoes are based on my patterns that you individualise to make them special to you. To see what others have done on a weekend workshop look at the Made by Beginners section in the gallery.
