Shoemaking: Shoe Design Course

On this one-day shoe design course we’ll show you how we design our bespoke shoes. Then, working on our almond toed 0743 shoe lasts, we’ll guide you through the design process yourself… advising on construction, material and detail considerations as we go.

The morning will be spent designing on paper. The afternoon session will be spent drawing your chosen design onto the 0743 shoe last.

At the end of the session you will leave with a sketchbook of ideas.
