"I wanted to let you know that I wore my lovely soft cerise leather sandals ALL DAY on Saturday walking round Oxford in 33 degrees and they didn’t rub my feet, I didn’t get blisters, and had not a single sore patch at the end of the day. AMAZING. Haven’t been able to do that for 30 years. A whole new summer experience."

Thank you Nia. I would love to come back for more leather experience in your studio."

"A super fun and relaxed workshop with Nia, where in just a day, I made a pair of made to fit me custom sandals. So many options, lots of designs to pick from. would highly recommend this class for all abilities. Looking forward to some sun so I can wear them. Sneaker class next!"

"What a joy to make your own shoes! My friend and I signed up to one of Nia's workshops, despite no previous shoe-making experience, and we had a wonderful day. In her cosy studio above an independent shop selling work by local artists and makers, Nia took us through the process step by step. From marking out the leather and cutting the pieces, to punching holes and stitching soles, she provided all the tools and encouragement we needed. I am now the proud owner of handmade bright pink espadrilles with blue tassels. I'd love to go back and make myself a pair of hi-top sneakers!"

"Brilliant course, Nia was very knowledgeable about her craft and to pass on information on how to get started at home, where to get leather supplies from, and pattern adjustment. I came home with a unique beautiful pair of sandals. Thanks again Nia!"

- Shari

“I signed up myself and my Mam to one of Nia's classes to make sandals. I was looking for something interesting and unique the both of us could do together. Nia was enthusiastic, friendly, patient, and helpful. We were both very pleased with the finished sandals and would definitely recommend the course”

"My sandal-making workshop with Nia was brilliant: I'd never made anything like this before, but everything about the process felt accessible and achievable thanks to Nia's wealth of knowledge and calm approach to teaching. Being able to learn these sorts of skills feels like a rare treat, and to be taught by someone who has such excitement for their craft and who is keen to share their knowledge makes you feel like you stumbled across something really special. Not only did I make my own shoes, I'd know how to make another pair again! Thank-you Nia for such an inspiring day."
