Learn the art of sneaker-making in this accelerated class. Customize your low-, mid-, or high-top sneakers using prepared master patterns and a variety of materials. Walk away with a pair of custom sneakers in just three days!
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.

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 $.
