No Kits. Just Realness.
There is a big difference between putting a kit together in a big class and actually fabricating ...
Here are just a few:
-Learn stuff that won't chain your creativity and make you dependent on kits, even at the beginner level.
-All use of tools and equipment as well as all materials are included in your tuition. *
-You get a supply list and sources for supplies with real suppliers.
-Work one on one with a master designer maker with decades of real world experience in wholesale, retail, small manufacturing, and bespoke footwear and accessories.
-We don't sell anything but quality education. We won't steer you to the factory we own, or make you purchase stuff that should be included.

*All materials are included in all base programs and add-ons. Students supply various materials and any proprietary hardware/materials/elements for use in their prototypes in the 18 Day program and in Special Course Work and consulting programs.

Current programs are conducted in New Orleans.
