Shoemaking course in New York, 2009 May

[MarcellHUN]

here is a link about my upcoming shoemaking course in New York. I also plan to make some "open hours" to styleforum member - to give a possibility to watch how the real handmade shoe is made with the traditional methods. Most probably that will be in the second week - ALL of you are invited! http://rosenbaumsny.com/course.html R.S.V.P.

Oh man! If that was over a weekend or two, I would definitely join.

I have a general shoemaking Q if I may - how difficult is it to disassemble a shoe, particularly an upper?

 

[anon]

damn, I'd love to make my own shoes.

Hey, It is the correct link:

www.rosenbaumsny.com/shoemakingcourses.html


The answers: shoemaking is a complicated, but beautiful craft. What should I say? I love it! If you want to know why - please join or at least visit.

Would you consider weekend classes?

So at the end of this course I will have a pair of shoes that I made?

don't know if you noticed, but shoebox making is not one of the topics.

the bottom left of the registration info says "Each course will produce a pair of shoes"

This is why I asked, a pair of shoes? As in one for the group or one each?

 

[MarcellHUN]

Yes, you make a pair of shoes - for yourself.

No information about the weekend class yet, but if we have enough interest - why not?

Just to be clear, if you could accomodate a weekend class for beginners (I assume it would be over both weekends?), I would sign up for sure.

That would be extremely tempting.
