One-Day Footwear Design

Duration: 7 hours

Times: 10am till 6pm

This class can be taken alone but works most effectively as the first of a three-day module that includes the One-Day Interpretation of Footwear Design class and One-Day Footwear Production Seminar.

The sessions are aimed at those planning to develop a commercial footwear collection and taken together, cover some of the essential issues students need to consider in order to follow this path.

The Footwear Design course concentrates on techniques to develop ideas and inspirational material into professionally rendered, working designs.
