Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this shoemaking class:

This class will quickly teach you some of the basic techniques of sneaker making. This is an accelerated class! Mostly 3-day courses but we do offer occasional longer-day 2-day course as well.

To make this possible you will be using a prepared Master Pattern to base your designs off of.

Choices you will have: LOW, MID or HIGHTOP sneaker. You will be able to customize your sneaker via material choices and simple design details: Topline, Laces, eyelets, pull tabs, topstitching...

We highly recommend upgrading to the 5-day shoemaking class for elaborate designs apart from the basic designs we will work with. As we have no time, lasts will not be modified, and everyone will work with MORGAN lasts.

Day 1 (Full Day): Patternmaking, Cutting Leathers

Students will be able to choose leathers from our leather library. Materials are included. If you intend on going shopping to purchase your own leathers, that will be on your time and $.

Day 2 (Full day) : Stitch, Start Lasting

Day 3 (Full day) : Finish Lasting, Cupsole & Speedy Stitching, 

Walk out with a pair of custom sneakers in a weekend and still have time to go out! 

Make sure to book ahead to secure all the materials in your size. All tools and supplies are included.
