We cannot accept bookings from students under 18 years of age for shoemaking courses, classes and workshops without parental approval and attendance.

HEALTH & SAFETY

We require that you declare and discuss any medical conditions or health issues with us, prior to being accepted onto a course. This is particularly for the shoe making courses where a general level of health and fitness is required. We reserve the right to decline your application if we feel that the course would put your health, our health or the health of those attending the course alongside you, at risk.

When you arrive at the workshop, we will give you a copy of our workshop health and safety guidelines and ask you to sign a disclaimer declaring that we will be responsible for explaining how to use a tool and demonstrating how to do that safely, but ultimately that you are responsible for any injuries that you incur. Our guidelines require that you wear clothing suitable to work in, that will get dirty and dusty, and shoes that cover your feet fully. We advise that all jewellery is removed, that long hair is tied back and that loose, flowing clothing is avoided.

ILLNESS / COVID-19

If you feel unwell at any point during the course, including cold or flu like symptoms, we require that you take a covid test every day for 5 days. You may continue to attend class but will be required to always wear a face mask and to use hand sanitiser. If you test positive during a class, you will be required to self-isolate and not return to the course or class until you have tested negative for two consecutive days in a row.  In such an event we will consider all the circumstances and take such action that we consider to be fair and reasonable.

MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT

The 12-Day Shoe Making course fee includes course notes and a set of tools for the student to keep: lasting pliers, a knife, two awl blades and handles, a bone, a tape measure and a silver pen.

There is an additional costs for shoes that are finished with a Dainite, Commando, Serac or Topy sticker heels and/or soles.

LASTS to make your shoes on

Standard: We recommend students visit our workshop at least 8 weeks prior to starting a class or course so that they can try on a sample shoe for size before we order their uppers and lasts. If students are unable to visit the workshop, we will provide a last that approximates their standard UK shoe size.

Own lasts: You may provide your own lasts to work on. We will require the left last at least 6 weeks before the class so that we can have your uppers made

Bespoke: Students who would like to order a pair of bespoke lasts should arrange to visit us in person at least three months before the start of the course. There is NO GUARANTEE that the shoes that you make will fit you, but we will do all we can to make them fit as well as possible at the end of the course.

LATE APPLICATIONS

If there are places available on a course and we can provide the necessary materials, we will accept bookings right up until the course commences.

Late applicants will usually have their place on the course confirmed by telephone or email.  If, however, you have not received confirmation within 24 hours of your application it is your responsibility to check by calling us on
