Starting from scratch, you will reach an advanced expertise in 20 weeks, through a very challenging and intensive path.
At the end of the course you will be able to master the major shoe structures: décolleté, derby, boot, sandal.
Each structure will feature a deep understanding of the whole construction process, from design and realization of paper-patterns, to the making of the actual samples.
Prototyping and advanced technical design, alongside lectures about the shoe’s history and business strategies are going to be the focus of this program, culminating in the realization of your capsule collection, entirely conceived, designed and made by you.
Design and Making are nowadays extremely linked: by understanding what it takes to manufacture a shoe, you will be able to design it in the most creative and effective way.
For students who are not able to attend our full course, we can offer a first basic level program.
It is a short introduction to elementary shoemaking tools and techniques, with a cost of €5900 and a duration of 10 weeks.
You will learn some fundamentals of shoemaking and modeling, and get a first knowledge of basic tools and materials; students attending this short program will not attend advanced drawing skill classes, and will not get to work on their final collections.
