Students make a lace-up pair of shoes that incorporates introductory processes covering all phases of producing a pair of hand lasted shoes from pattern making to lasting, welting to detailing. What students take away is not only a new pair of shoes, but practical knowledge of supplies, tools, materials, and processes. It's a jam packed foray into shoe making and a great place to start your journey because it encompasses a broad range of information/skill sets.

All of our courses go beyond simple stitchdown methods of shoemaking to introduce students to quality, hand-lasted and repairable constructions.
