We’ve given our popular Masterclass a revamp and included some extras to make the most out of the time and give our students the best chance of success in the world of footwear. Over this 10-day intensive course, students will design and make a collection of 4 – 6 pairs of shoes.

Learning how to create (from scratch) a cohesive shoe collection is just the beginning, students will leave feeling ready to take on the industry, we’ll even give you a list of shoe factories!

There is also an element of theory in this course, ensuring students know how the industry works and best practices for getting started.
