Intensive beginner classes take place in Savannah, GA for the course of 2 consecutive weeks. Participants will learn the basic handmade cemented construction with master shoemaker Marcell Mrsán. Choices between making a pair of men’s shoes/boots or women’s high heel is available for each class. All materials and tools are provided, all you have to bring is your enthusiasm and an open mind.
Important notice: the two weeks are seperate classes. Both start from scratch.
Dates:
25-29 June, 2012
2-6 July, 2012
Registration for beginner classes starts at 12th April.

I wish I lived in GA, but I’m in NJ. If there are any classes coming to the Philadelphia or New York City area please post! Also, do you know where I can purchase lasts for baby and kid’s shoes? I’ve looked all over the internet and cannot find any. I want to make slip on loafers for my children. Thanks in advance.

Sounds fun! I took a shoe making class a long time ago but I bet things have really changed.
Does anybody know if the class is full? I am very interested… But the PayPal option seems to be down.
Just make the registration and we will take care if the rest later.
Just wanted to let you know that I nominated “Handmade shoes” for a Liebster Blog award. You can see what I wrote here http://toft-toft.blogspot.com/2012/04/liebster-blog-award.html
Thank you! Could you tell me more about it?
Are you going to have a shoemaking class in August?
