The Art of Denim with Robert

about this event

Spend a weekend creating. Reserve your dates here.

VAWAA’s are a chance to immerse in a craft and lose yourself to the creative flow at your own pace. You’ll work one on one with VAWAA master artist, Robert, with exclusive access to his studio.

Learn how to make a pair of denim jeans, shorts, jacket, skirt or shirt from bespoke maker & Vintage Levi 501 collector Robert. Based on your skill level you can make a new pair or bring your own to alter.

Robert is a bespoke maker of denim jeans, jackets and shirts; master of jean repairs and alterations; and a Vintage Levi 501 collector and seller. With 25 years of experience attracting Levi’s fanatics from Europe, Japan, New York and beyond, he has been referred to as “Jean Weaver”, “Jean Genie” to “Denim Doctor”. His celebrity client list is expansive, from Eric Clapton, Britney Spears, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Petty and the Beach Boys.

We at VAWAA (Vacation With An Artist) facilitate 3 – 10 day mini apprenticeships for people of any skill level to immerse in the life of master artists around the world. With this intersection of art and travel, people are able to step away from the busyness of life and return to the best parts of being human: self expression, exploration, and connection.
