During the course of the day, you will experience the whole shoemaking process, from choosing your leather and hand-cutting your shoes using simple patterns. As you progress, you will use specialist sewing machines to top-stitch and assemble the shoe upper. Finally, having force-lasted your shoes, you will leave them with us to add the soles. Your finished shoes are then posted to you within a week. We are one of the only places in the country where you can hand-craft your own pair of shoes in just one day!

With only four places available per workshop, you’re guaranteed plenty of personalised attention from our expert shoemakers. 

All of the materials to make the shoes are provided, with a choice of colours and styles on the day.

Aprons are provided to protect your clothes, but do bear in mind you will be working with glue and sharp tools so please don't wear your favourite things. The workshop can get a bit cold in the winter, so you might want to bring some warmer layers too!

You can find our workshop at The Old Chapel, 26A Cross Street, Moretonhampstead, TQ13 8NL. The nearest car park is Station Road, a few minutes walk away.

Our shoemaking workshop starts at 9.30am and finishes around 5pm. Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided. Lunch is not provided but there are shops and cafes nearby.

Our one-day shoemaking workshop is priced at £275, which includes all materials, tuition and of course your very own pair of custom shoes! Or you can book two places together for a discounted rate of £500.

You can secure your place with a £100 deposit. Instalment options are available too - please contact us to find out more.
