Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this shoemaking 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.

In this class, we will use pointy-toe lasts with a 3.5-inch heel height.

For other toe shapes and heel heights, please take the 5-day intensive course.

BKSS Tote bag is included in the course.

We have high heel stiletto making kits on our webshop for you to make them at home too!

Question from Sindy S.
Hi, I wear a size 4 in women's (I have tiny feet!). Will I still find a last in this size?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Sindy! They have limited shoe Last sizes but they do have size 4 lasts. Do you know if you have wide feet or narrow or normal-ish feet? They had a student who had 4 extra wide. She ended up ordering a last, with toe shapes she likes and for the style she wished to make. They have a few pointy/almond toe with a heel that’s maybe 2-2.5 inch heel.
Answer from Sindy S.
Great! I'm normal-ish, not super wide, pointy with 2-2.5 inch heel is perfect, sometimes 3 inches can be a little taxing!

Question from Mr. F.
Hello! I'm going to purchase my place in class. I would like to purchase some leather for my project in the class. I would like to know the thickness I will need, & I'm interested in making a size 9 stiletto. Do you have a materials list, or is it possible to email or speak to an instructor?
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! For stilettoes, you don’t want anything too thick. Kid suede, kidskin, calf skins are a good thick. All components and materials, including upper and lining, are included in the tuition. You will choose from the materials available in the studio. If you'd like to use your own materials, please bring them with you.
