ABOUT THE COURSE
The 5-day course is designed for the beginner student (no experience necessary) who wants to experience every facet of the shoemaking process.

Upon completion of the study, the student will have made and designed one pair of shoes.
COURSE HOURS
The course starts at 10 am Monday and then runs through to 4 pm daily until Friday with a one-hour break for lunch.
COURSE FEES

The five-day course fee is AUD 3950.00.

Materials for additional pairs made will be charged accordingly.

COURSE ACTIVITIES
Pattern-making / Design
A pattern is made on the Last (i.e. the foot model). This design is drawn on the last and then transferred to a cardboard pattern. A test of this pattern will be made from scrap leather to ensure fit and design. This is called a “Pullover” or test shoe. The pullover is assessed and tweaked for fit and style. A pattern is then made which represents the design and appropriate measurements.
Cutting / Clicking
The Leather. Choosing your leather and cutting the pattern pieces.
Upper Stitching
All the pieces that comprise the upper part of the shoe are skived,
folded and stitched together to create your upper.
Lasting / Making
Is the process where the stitched upper is pulled over the Last and fastened to the insole.
Once the upper is attached and the stiffeners are inserted and set, the sole and heel are attached.
Finishing
This is where the sole and heel are trimmed, the edge waxed and the sole is stitched ready for wear.
Shoes made by students are for them to keep and wear.
