If you wish to deconstruct and reconstruct a shoe, please reach out ahead of time to discuss the original shoe.

Join a Group Class that is already on the calendar, OR: If you can plan ahead with at least one month’s notice, you can sign up for a group class on a day of your choice. We’ll post available dates on the calendar and see if others are interested in joining. Please note, we need a minimum of 2 students to hold a group class.
DETAILS OF CLASS:
First day of the class: You will learn about lasts, how to measure your feet, how to draw your designs. The afternoon of the first day, or, the second class, the afternoon of the first day, you will make patterns of your designs by taping up the last, drawing on the last and creating paper patterns.
Second day, you will finish your patterns, and start to cut your leathers from your pattern, prepare to sew, and start stitching, using a high-post sewing machine. Even a first-time-sewer will learn how to use the machines, do not worry!
Third day you will finish stitching the uppers.
Fourth day, you will start lasting your uppers. First the lining, then the uppers, in between you will put toe puffs and heel counters.
Fifth day, you will sole your shoes. It can be a pre-made sole unit, or you can stack your own. If you are finished on the fifth day, great!
