Leolo Shoes

Leolo Beginning Shoemaking Workshop: February, 12th - 17th

$2,600.00

This class, taught in our Seattle workshop, is for those curious about shoemaking and a great way to launch your shoemaking career. This shoemaking class is taught by Leanne's instructor, mentor, friend, and master shoemaker, Jessica Brommer. Jessica attended FIT and has studied with various master leather crafters. Jessica has been making shoes and teaching for over a decade and is considered an expert.

Students will leave this class with a fully constructed pair of shoes, a $1600 value. Using the cemented construction method, you will learn to make a pair of fully functional lace-up shoes. Styles taught in this class will be limited to the classic styles "Oxford" & "Derby", however, students can do much customization through material choice and detailing. The basic concepts/skills of footwear construction will be covered, including last selection and fit, basic patterning concepts, material and pattern selection, tracing, clicking, and skiving, as well as sewing, lasting, and finishing.

Open Studio
For those who need extra time to work on their projects or have other projects that they would like to work on outside of class times, I will do my best to schedule times for them to come in at the hourly rate as follows: 1 person = $50, 2 people = $75, 3 or more people = $100

Health and Injuries
I would discourage any student who is pregnant or trying to get pregnant from attending a class due to the adhesives and solvents used. 

If you are environmentally sensitive or have strong reactions to the chemicals in the adhesives and solvents used, I suggest purchasing a high-quality respirator for your personal use.

If, during class or Open studio sessions, you injure yourself in a way that requires any emergency or medical care, LEOLO will not be held liable in any way.
