Every woman loves shoes, obviously, but have you ever thought about learning to make your own? For the wannabe cobblers amongst us, there's no an option that doesn't involve a three year degree course (though if that is what your after, my old uni DeMontfort does an amazing one...).
Step forward (no pun intended) I Can Make Shoes, the brainchild of Australian shoemaker Amanda-Luisa Overs. The unique method taught at I Can Make Shoes is designed to make the shoe-making process as easy as possible, giving even complete beginners the skills to make their own shoes and meaning you can walk away from a workshop with a finished pair.
The process requires no heavy machinery or specialist equipment, making it possible for people to buy a few supplies and get straight into making their own shoes from home. With workshops from a half day design course to a one day ballet pump masterclass, a three day high heel workshop to a 10-day intensive course for those serious on entering the industry, I Can Make Shoes' courses - run from their studio in Hackney - are undoubtedly a brilliant choice if you're interested in taking your love for shoes one step further.
Courses from £75. For more information visit www.icanmakeshoes.com
