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.
