COVID-19 Update:

TBD stands for “Date To Be Determined” where you may buy now & choose the date of your workshop later, with no expiration. This is the most popular option, you may also choose a weekday if it fits in my schedule!

If your choice of workshop date is rescheduled or cancelled due to Covid-19, be not alarmed! Your spot in the class will never expire and you may use it later this year or even next year. I will be in communication with all students and work around your comforts.

This is a private class taught to one person at a time. If you would like to schedule this class with a friend or family member, that is allowed and encouraged. Please reach out to me when booking if this is what you would like to do.

This is a simple 3 day workshop for any person looking to learn the art of sneaker making. You may choose a date from the drop down menu or decide later with the TBD option. It is highly recommended to take my Level 1 & 2 Shoemaking workshops unless you have prior leather stitching and shoemaking experience. Men’s & Women’s style and sizes available. Class is taught privately unless otherwise noted.

This is an advanced level course designed to teach you how to make your own pair of sneaker shoes. Students will learn how to hand craft a pair of shoes in their desired size, and walk away with their finished pair! You will learn how to size your own feet, choose from high quality leathers, and use traditional shoemaking techniques to create your very own shoes.

All glues used in my studio are NON TOXIC and leathers are ethically sourced. If you would like to use vegan leathers, please indicate so at checkout or via email and I will send you a separate invoice of $50 to cover the cost of materials.
