Class Description

Description

This accelerated three-day intensive workshop teaches you the complete process of making high heels, from initial concept through finished product. To ensure participants can complete a finished pair of shoes within the compressed timeframe, the course uses streamlined techniques and pre-manufactured components with pointy toe lasts. If your design concept does not feature a pointy toe style, you should enroll in the five-day intensive course instead, as completing non-pointy toe designs from scratch would require substantially more time than available in this three-day format.

Course Schedule and Projects:

  • Day 1: Complete design work, create patterns, and cut leather materials. Begin stitching the upper portions of the shoes.
  • Day 2: Continue stitching uppers and start the lasting process. Aim to complete lasting by the end of the day.
  • Day 3: Finish lasting work, attach heels to the shoes, and complete sole attachment.

Materials and Specifications:

All components, materials, uppers, and linings are included in the tuition cost. The course uses pointy-toe lasts with a standardized three-and-one-half-inch heel height. For alternative toe shapes or different heel heights, enrollment in the five-day intensive course is recommended.

Refund Policy

All classes and workshops are non-transferable and non-refundable.

Class Make-up Policy

For multiple-day classes, if you have to miss a day, you are responsible for getting the information that will catch you up on missed information during the class hours. Any additional time you will need to finish the project due to your absence shall be signed-up as a studio-hour session at a $150/day rate.

We take your safety seriously. With COVID-19, circumstances may change quickly, at the last minute. Please communicate with us, if you are traveling from afar. We expect that you will be healthy, and that if you feel sick slightly, you will let us know and we will postpone the course. We will have hand sanitizers, surface wipes, we will wash hands frequently, and each student will have their own tool box to use during the course. Any shared equipment will be cleaned in between use.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
