On Saturday 19th of September, Fashive organized the online workshop “Create Your Own Espadrilles” in association with Lisa Teng from Lisa Teng Studio. Shoe Maker & Designer, Lisa is passionate about her job! Naturally, she wants to share her knowledge with everyone who is keen to learn about the topic. No need to be a footwear professional; a craft soul, and two hands are enough to dive into the workshop!
Let me say a few words about Lisa, our Workshop’s Mentor. Lisa gained her skills and knowledge in London, through studying footwear and working for a leather artist and designer. Her company based in Singapore, Lisa Teng Studios, dedicates to the creation and design of footwear, small leather accessories and attachments, and other lifestyle products. Through the connection of design, she creates products, mixing modern and classical construction techniques. Products are under development constantly while taking on customized orders and collaborating with other makers and designers.
When subscribing to the online event, the participants received a box delivered to them with all the supplies required. Offering a preview of what would be the result!
