Shoemaking Experience Workshops

Here's a short film of a Shoe Making Workshop, shot at our studios (Second Floor Studios) by the very talented Sam Nesbitt from Three Little Pixels, just click on the Play button:

Our one-day class offers an unique experience to create your own pair of stunning shoes in our signature style, by up-cycling vintage Japanese kimono fabrics. No previous experience required as you will be expertly guided through each stage by designer Hetty.

We create two different styles of shoes, a slingback shoe and a ballet pump. The slingback can be made with a heel or as a flat shoe, you can choose from a wide variety of kimono fabrics for your shoes and Hetty will prepare this for you, so on the day you have all the components you need to create your shoes. You'll pick your heel (for those having a heel), the leather to cover it and also in the inside of your creations.

You get to walk away with a new pair of exclusive designer shoes at the end of the day! It's a perfect gift for those creative family members, partner and friends. If you're planning a creative Hen Do, it's a fantastic idea as you can wear the shoes on your Wedding day!

The cost is £255 per person, payable in 2 deposits. Gift vouchers are available. The workshops are held at our studios near Greenwich, South East London. Easy transport links, free parking and cafe.

See our homepage for upcoming dates (on right-hand side).

For more information, or if you have any other questions, please contact Hetty. If you are interested in a one-on-one workshop day, do get in touch to discuss with Hetty, prices from £350 for one day.
