Introduction to Footwear Design

About

The footwear design study abroad summer school is a creative programme and you will be encouraged to challenge preconceived ideas and opinions – in order to look at alternative interpretations, conclusions and design solutions. Our shoe making unit is taught in specialist workshops where you'll learn through practical experimentation and the application of technical skills. The workshops are situated in the heart of London's East End, an area historically rich in local crafts and skills, and still one of the city's most buzzing creative hotspots.

There will also be a unit introducing you to rapid prototyping and RHINO for footwear.
