Guided by designer and educator Jennifer Allison, you’ll learn the foundations of footwear construction while crafting your own pair of fuzzy slippers — perfect for unwinding in style or adding a handmade statement piece to your wardrobe.
Working with plush faux furs, memory foam insoles, and durable rubber outsoles, you’ll cut, assemble, and finish your slippers with both comfort and design in mind. Strap placement will be tailored directly on your feet, ensuring a fit that feels as good as it looks. With two upper design options and a curated selection of colours and prints, you’ll create a pair that reflects your unique style!
No prior experience is required — all tools and materials are provided.

Bring your creativity and curiosity, and you’ll leave with:
- A finished pair of handmade fuzzy slippers
- Foundational skills in footwear construction
- The confidence to continue crafting at home
This workshop is recommended for 18+. Registration for this workshop ends on April 19 at 11:55pm EST
