Shoe Making Course: Create Your Own Pair

Studio Affair x Sophie Tiné

A special affair.

An affair with leather, shape and craftsmanship.

During this 6-day course in my Amsterdam atelier, I guide you step by step through the art of shoemaking. You will design and create your own pair of leather shoes entirely by hand.

You will learn professional techniques, how to work with lasts, pattern making and leather construction. At the end of the course, you leave with a fully handmade pair of shoes and the foundation to continue creating.
