Center Seam Moccasin Workshop

Sunday, September 21, 10am-2pm

Class level: All skill levels welcome.

Age requirements: 16+

Registration fee: $180

Teaching artist: Rachel Leigh Jeske

In this workshop participants will learn how to make center seam style moccasins. Each participant will make a pattern from their own foot, cut the pattern out of the leather, and construct the moccasin. There is no needle and thread used, we will punch holes and weave thin strips of leather back and fourth through the holes.

Participants should be prepared to take their shoes off because they will need to trace their feet and take measurements.

​All supplies are included in the class fee.
