\t\t\t\tSharon Miller will be teaching on Friday, 5067C\u00a0\u00a0Espadrilles\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>and on Saturday, \u00a06063C\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Espadrilles\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\"sharon-miller-one-shoe\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nRoad to California 2017 will be featuring several handwork classes, including these beginner to intermediate level classes on how to make espadrilles shoes by Sharon\u00a0 Miller.\u00a0\"sharon-miller\"<\/a>\nEspadrilles are casual, flat, shoes that originated in the Pyrenees<\/a>. They usually have a canvas<\/a> or cotton<\/a> fabric<\/a> upper and a flexible sole<\/a>.\"sharon-miller-brocade\"<\/a>\nSharon has a Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics, clothing and textiles. She began sewing, crocheting, and tatting when she was 10 years old and has created everything from clothing and costumes to home d\u00e9cor, bridal gowns, crafts and quilts.\"sharon-miller-dress\"<\/a>\nHow did Sharon get started in making espadrilles? \u201cI love new things and when I saw the espadrilles I could hardly wait to start making them.\u00a0 I envisioned them with kids clothes, casual wear, in leather, and a fun bridal party activity.\u201d\"sharon-miller-childs\"<\/a>\nThere was a bit of a learning curve in learning how to make the shoes. Sharon tried all kinds of fabrics and had to figure out how to adjust the fit for unique feet.\u00a0 Luckily for Sharon\u2019s students, she has developed many quick tips to make the process easier that she will be sharing in her classes.\nDoes Sharon have a favorite espadrilles style? She likes — and has a pair — of both flats and wedges. In her Road 2017 classes, students will be making the flat version.\nAt Road 2016, Sharon demonstrated her espadrilles shoes in the EE Schenck Company<\/a> booth in the Marketplace<\/a>. It was such a popular demonstration that the Reese family asked her to offer a class at Road 2017. Previously, she has taught her espadrille class for shop owners in Portland, Oregon in 2015.\nSharon is excited to share something she loves to make that has become natural to her. Students can expect to finish at least one pair of shoes and hopefully start the second pair before the end of class. Sharon describes her classes as both \u201cfun and educational.\u201d She adds, \u201cWe have a good time.\u201d\n \n \n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
