Sketching
With our proven methodology, we teach students who have no sketching ability, to sketch footwear from the side top and at an angle. This allows the learner greater flexbility to be creative.
Pattern Engineering
In order to make quality footwear one needs to have a well grounded ability to cut footwear patterns.
Using the best Italian methods our learners are taken through the process of making the patterns for all the classical styles of footwear. This also includes the process of grading footwear to other sizes.
From this all other patterns can be made which includes sandals, boots shoes, sneakers and vellies.
This course does not include moccassins, but it can be done seperately in a one week custom course.
Shoemaking
The basic understanding of how shoes are made and assembled.
Technology
During the above proceses the students learn all about the materials, components and consumables used in footwear.
