What do Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, and Giuseppe Zanotti have in common? They are all shoe designers who have elevated their craft of shoe making to a mesmerizing art form. Think you have what it takes to design a pair of shoes?
Get your creative juices flowing and your feet wet, so to speak, at International Shoemaking Design, which offers an intensive 2-day workshop for serious-minded footwear designers to hone your shoemaking skills, learn the anatomy of the foot and construction of a shoe. Upon completion, you’ll have made your very own mule, pump, sandal or boot style. In YOUR size, of course.
Based outside of Cleveland in Rocky River, Ohio, owner Sissy Puccio Aversa, a London-trained shoe designer/maker and certified Pedorthist, will privately walk you through an intensive workshop on what it takes to actually build a pair of shoes.
Word is, Aversa is working on her own line, where she will manufacture her collection right here in the United States. Stay tuned.
Question is, will YOU be the next footwear designer featured by shuzsociety.com? Well, Sissy Puccio Aversa says “yes you can!”
