Online Sneaker-Making Course (Beginner Friendly)
Learn to Design, Draft & Make Your Own Sneakers at Home with our online & Studio Hybrid Sneaker Masterclass.
Our Hybrid Course gives you the best of both worlds.
Study from the comfort of your own home while enjoying live, interactive online lessons with our experienced lecturers. Over five engaging sessions, the online sneaker-making course breaks down the entire process into fun, beginner-friendly video lessons, guiding you through design, sketching, pattern drafting, costing, and full construction.
Once you've completed the online design component, you'll move on to the practical side of the course. You can either join us in our Johannesburg studio for a 2-day hands-on shoemaking workshop—included in your course fees at no additional cost—or, if you can't travel, we'll courier a practical shoemaking kit directly to you. You'll then follow our detailed step-by-step video tutorials to create your sneakers from home, at your own pace.
Whichever option you choose, you'll gain the same practical shoemaking skills and finish the course having designed and made your own pair of sneakers. It's flexible learning without compromising on quality, giving you the freedom to study in the way that suits your lifestyle.
No guesswork. No vague instructions. Only step-by-step, in-depth, high-quality tutorials designed to help you create your first wearable pair with confidence.
