After my trip to the Amalfi Coast, I was determined to learn how to make these gorgeous sandals. I scoured the internet and I found Sandal Mastery – which led me to Kristin! From our first Zoom meeting, Kristin radiated such kindness and genuine love for the craft, I knew I found the right place to start my journey.

Kristin is patient and wants to make sure each student truly understands and has a solid foundation for crafting different styles and encourages creativity to build your own signature style.

Throughout the course, I felt supported every step of the way – she has a genuine interest in each student's success. She offers thoughtful, strategic guidance that extends far beyond the length of the course – she continues to check-in, offer advice, and is willing to share insights from her own experience. I am so happy I made the investment and highly recommend it! Thank you, Kristin!

I hope you and the family are doing great! Sorry it took me some time to write the testimonial. Here is a draft, please let me know what you think of it and happy to change or add anything you like : )

Taking Kristin’s sandal mastery class in Italy was truly an incredible experience. It’s not just her deep knowledge and skill in the craft, it’s her passion, organization, and genuinely nurturing teaching style that made the class so special.

From the start, I was looking for a teacher just like her, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Bonding outside of the class with wonderful lunches, dinners and aperitivo made it extra special and a trip i will never forget. I’m excited to continue learning and collaborating with her as my own business grows and looking forward to our next trip back to Italy next May!

Attending Sandal School was one of the best decisions I've made for my craft and career. As a leather smith with 15 years of experience, I went in thinking I had a solid foundation, but I was blown away by how much I still had to learn. The course itself is incredibly well-designed, but what truly sets it apart is the mentorship.

Kristin's guidance has been invaluable - not just during the course but even after. She is genuinely invested in her students' success, offering support in every aspect, from perfecting the art of crafting beautiful sandals to organising business ideas, connecting with resources, and building confidence. Her encouragement and expertise have been game-changing for me.

This was more than just a course; it was an investment in myself and my future. Thanks to Sandal School, I feel equipped and excited to take my sandal business to the next level this year. If you're considering applying, don't hesitate, this program is worth the investment. Thank you, Kristin!

Kristin's SANDAL MASTERY Mentorship was such a great experience. She is an incredible teacher who breaks things down in a way that just makes sense, and she made learning virtually feel easy and fun. The tools and materials are top quality and she is always there with helpful insights, support and encouragement.

What stood out the most though was how comfortable she made the whole experience. I felt like I had known her my whole life. By the end, I not only gained new skills and confidence but also a deep appreciation for the craft and the community she's created.

Thank you, Kristin.
