Learn the heritage skills of handsewn shoe making as you make your very own pair of leather shoes or boots. 

We have sample shoes for you to try on so that you can choose the right size to suit you.

It usually takes three terms to make a pair of handsewn shoes working in small groups of up to 6 students. Each terms is 10 weeks long with a one week half term break mid term. 

Sign up for classes on either a Monday or Tuesday evening from 6 - 9pm or Saturday mornings from 10am - 1pm.

The course has been created especially for beginners. There's a lot to learn and we will carefully guide you through the 200+ stages in the shoe making process until you leave the class with a pair of leather shoes or boots that you have made yourself.

Carreducker are master handsewn shoemakers Deborah Carre and James Ducker, based in the iconic Oxo Tower Wharf on London's South Bank. The duo learned their craft the traditional way, as shoe making apprentices.  Today, they make bespoke shoes for private customers and deliver the bespoke shoe service at Gieves & Hawkes on Savile Row.

Passionate for the heritage, handsewn craft  and keen to share their skills, Carreducker have been teaching shoe making since 2006. James originally taught shoe making at Cordwainers College and Deborah was a visiting lecturer in shoe and accessory design at the London College of Fashion, so teaching has always been important to them. 

Since they started teaching, the number and variety of courses has grown from one three-week course to a year-round syllabus of evening, short and longer classes and courses  taught by industry experts. All subjects have handsewn shoemaking and craft at their heart from footwear pattern making, shoe care & polishing,  1-to-1 tuition and shoe making masterclasses to small leather accessory saddle stitch classes.
Their 12-Day intensive shoe making course is the longest running and one-of-a-kind. In just 12 days students are guided through the 200 plus steps of hand sewing a pair of shoes; starting with a rough pack of leather, a pair of shoe uppers and a pair of lasts (the blocks the shoes are made on) and finishing up with a pair of handsewn shoes they have made themselves. 

Courses are taught at the Carreducker workshop in Oxo Tower Wharf on the South Bank between Waterloo bridge and Blackfriars bridge.  It is a light, friendly and relaxed space to work in - with a feature wall of customer lasts;  hand tools hung along a long peg wall of cupboard fronts; a display of bespoke shoes, R2W and leather accessories; and a tambour cabinet full of student work.

Once you’re happy with your finished carving we will show you how to complete the ring and prepare it for casting. After the class your wax carved ring will be cast, finished and polished by The Ringsmiths using recycled silver. We will contact you once it’s ready for collection or we can post it out to you.

If you wish to have your ring gold plated or have your wax cast in solid gold then this will be at an additional cost and can be paid for and decided on the day.

Kintsugi is an ancient art form that celebrates the Japanese philosophy of the beauty of imperfection. It involves putting broken pieces of pottery back together by embracing the cracks using the gold mica powder blowing method.

In this class that honours the traditional Japanese art of fixing with gold, an experienced and friendly teacher from Art4Space will guide you every step of the way so that you leave with beautiful symbolic pottery to treasure.

As well as enjoying the hands-on experience with all the materials provided, you will also learn a little about the history and philosophy of Kintsugi. We create up to two classic Japanese bowls. You also have the option to bring your own crockery (vase, plate, bowl, cup) and we can explore how to fix this the best way.

Join your teacher in their creative, inclusive and welcoming environment and enjoy this unique London activity with friends for an extra special birthday party or team-building event idea.

Your teachers are people who love the reflection, symbolism and art of Kintsugi. We have mastered the best results – one of our teachers recently returned from living in Japan and follows the wabi-sabi philosophy to domestic recycling. So don’t throw that pot away, come and join us! Plus we provide you with up to 2 traditional Japanese bowls.

Join your teacher in their creative, inclusive and welcoming environment and enjoy this unique London activity with friends for an extra special birthday party or team-building event idea.

Jewellery Making Workshop

You'll have a wide variety of ceramics to paint - mugs, bowls, plates, tiles and more that will make a lovely addiction to any home or a perfect personalised gift.

We'll guide you through a few different painting techniques (beginner friendly - don't worry!) and will provide a selection of patterns and designs (or you can bring your own) that you can re-do on a ceramic piece of your choosing. You'll also be shown a nifty  way to transfer images onto a ceramic piece, so it can be painted in. Or you can just freestyle with the  large selection of colours we have. 1,000s have come to this class and we continue to be amazed at what guests make - check out the photos. The class is BYOB and we'll provide tea / coffee if you prefer.

You'll leave having painted some fantastic ceramics for you or as a present. You'll also feel the proven mindfulness benefits of being creative - it is amazing!

Festive season 2024*

Learn to sew!

Welcome to our first at-home paper peony workshop.

We usually teach this class at our studio in London; we’ve now tweaked the format a little so you can learn how to work with crepe paper and sculpt your very own paper peonies at home.

Here you can find a detailed step-by-step guide but we’d really like for you to visit the online tutorial packed with demos and tips.

Now, let's make some flowers...

Will it be relaxing?

Candle-making is wonderful. Creating candles is a sensory experience that relaxes the mind by getting you in flow and allowing us to focus only on the material and the scent. We won't go full candle geek on you, but making candles stimulates neural input from almost all of our senses, including our smell, touch, and visual pathways which communicate with both left and right hemispheres of the brain. Expect a natural calming effect and a beautiful candle.  You will love it.
