ICANMAKESHOES visits NYC! STILETTO CLASS!
In this 3-day workshop, you will learn how to make high heels from start to finish. To make this accelerated class possible, we will minimize the steps by using pre-existing components using a pointy toe last. At this moment, If your design idea is not a pointy toe, please take a 5-day intensive course. Otherwise, you will have more work to do, and may run out of time as you will make everything from scratch, including the components.
Day1- Design, pattern making, and cutting the leathers. Start stitching uppers.
Day 2-Stitch the uppers and start lasting, preferably finish lasting.
Day 3- Finish lasting and attach heels and sole the shoes

All components and materials, uppers and lining included in the tuition.

INTRO TO SHOEMAKING
We regularly have these classes scheduled in our calendar!
This class is a 2-hour theory class on footwear structure, resources for materials & how to measure your feet. Get inspired and design your shoes-. After this class, you will be motivated to find lasts that fit your feet, and create your designs!
For other footwear courses, it is highly recommended (not a requirement) to take this course as it covers a lot about basics of footwear and shoemaking lingo. It will give you a little time in between this class and your other class you intend to take, to prepare supplies or order custom lasts ahead of time.
