Sandalmaking Workshop!

Let's get ready to live our best summer yet in handcrafted sandals with hopeful visions!

Shoemaking/Visioning Workshop - FREE for Camp Washington Residents!

Saturday May 9th from 2-5pm

We're making sandals! Summer is quickly approaching and we're making a quick and easy pair of custom sandals in preperation for some sunny vibes. As always, this workshop will walk you through not just how to make a pair of shoes but also get you thinking about where we're headed and how we're going to get there!

As we attempt to build a better future, how can we connect each other through slowness and beauty and stitch together our future visions for progress?

Shoes for the Landlocked works to engage participants by offering a tangible good, custom shoes, while encouraging you to envision a better future through meditation and writing, for yourself and for each other.

The workshop space where these programs take place mimics a hull of a ship, transporting participants from a disinvested urban manufacturing landscape into a surreal leather-filled boat belly in which to conduct their self-transformation while I work to cover their feet for their journey.

All materials and instructions are included to both plan for a better future as well as to create a simple pair of stitched sandals. You will leave with a new pair of shoes to walk an intentional path you set for yourself. I hope to see you there!

Snacks provided :).

Thanks to an Ohio Arts Council Artist Opportunities grant this workshop is now being offered free of charge to Camp Washington Residents.
