What happens in this class?

This is a great way to start learning how to make shoes. On this one-day shoe making course for beginners you will learn one of the most important elements of shoe making, hand lasting.

I waI was presented with the course as a Christmas gift and looked forward to the challenge of lasting a pair of formal shoes. The day was full-on, introduction, practice, execution and then trial fitting. Finally, we completed the lasted upper for onward finesse by a competent shoemaker! Carre Ducker hosted my session brilliantly, I felt completely at home and my ( limited) talent respected. I had a great day and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting a ‘different’ experience with a superb outcome - a pair of handmade shoes to your choice. Good value and good fun. Carre Ducker have been a delight to deal with and supportive in other ‘shoe’- related queries. Thanks, both.
