What it is and how it works:

These are classes conducted via video chat, videos, phone calls and whatever other communication forms we need to use to get the job done. Once payment is received, a list will be created and given to you. This list will include all the tools and materials needed to construct shoes in your own space(Yes you get the connects). I will also assist you, if needed, in the assembly of your industrial machine. Once you’re all set up, we will begin the class.

What we’ll cover:

Lasts and altering them

The basics of reconstruction

Patternmaking

Altering AJ1 patterns

Original designs

Constructing with various materials

Problematic areas and scenarios

And everything in between

How long does it take:

Once started, the class should take between 5 and 21 days, depending on your availability and work speed. (Please schedule enough free time to complete in 6 weeks or less once started.)

Total cost:

The approximate total cost is around $4,500 -$5000. This includes your machine, materials and teaching. The cost of the teaching is $3000. Once purchased, your class ticket is good for 2 years.

Buddy Option: I recommend you and a friend take the class together. 2 brains, more questions, more recall, cheaper startup costs etc. Simply purchase the buddy option and tell me what class to add the additional student to. Private coaching will be given to each student as needed.

It is highly recommended that you posses a steady hand and or some decent hand eye coordination. Any art skills will assist greatly.
