fatfuzz Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Whilst looking nto the possibility of making my own heels and following HH&C fan's awesome thread I found myself looking at shoe making courses. There are a few that I've found like I CAN make shoes but I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience of them here in the UK? And can anyone recommend a good one? The more I think about it the more I want to do it and whilst trial and error is a good way to learn it is also the long way. Also, you can't beat someone with loads of experience sharing some of it with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manoleat Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Well, I guess the link above was not very helpful if you don't have much money and time to spend. But there are other possibilities you maybe can take on a few days of vacation. I have to say that I have no experience with these courses so recommendation is impossible for me. But since you are located in London some should be reachable for you. http://shoes.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=shoes&cdn=style&tm=101&f=00&su=p284.13.342.ip_p504.6.342.ip_&tt=2&bt=5&bts=5&zu=http%3A//www.prescottandmackay.co.uk/ http://icanmakeshoes.com/ http://www.paulthomasshoes.com/content/handmade01.htm and also sometimes in Budapest: http://www.shoemakingcourse.com/ videos here: I hope this will have been helpful for you.

Dr. Shoe Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The first clip uses a slightly different method than the one I'd use but it's basically the same. They have missed out the step that transfers the masking tape "forme" into a paper pattern. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
