Training Course - Introduction to Shoemaking (USA)
"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.
