Training Course - Introduction to Shoemaking (UK)
"Three-day intensive course"

Synopsis

The aim of the course is to provide a general understanding of the shoemaking process for people who are not shoemakers. It is designed for busy people who have little time to spare. We manage to pack a great deal in, partly by limiting the number of participants. We have found this to be very popular.

 

Venue: Leicester                 3rd to 5th September 2013

Venue: London                   17th to 19th September 2013
