I have completed a total of 3 courses with Thomas at his studio in the last 4 months (Storm welted boots, a pair of Derby and a pair of fiddle waisted spat boots.) I can't recommend any of these course enough - Thomas is very knowledgeable, patience and a great tutor that one could hope for. I walked away not just with better appreciation of shoes but also the important know-how of shoe construction. The courses themselves are great and were flexible to accommodate my own designs. Each procedures (and there are at least 200+ stages per each pair of shoes!) were explained with details and there are plenty of hands on time. What's is even more useful is that there is a mock-up shoe that you get to make, by yourself, to get an advanced look before the final design and opportunities to adjust the finer details for the actual shoes prior to final construction. I have enjoyed the courses immensely and would recommend anyone who are interested in shoe making, whatever their levels maybe, to enroll in one of Thomas' courses.

I did the five day derby course. Brilliant week. Loved the shoes. Thomas is an excellent teacher, very patient and with an eye for detail. He gives you lots of ideas to adapt techniques where possible and advice on progression. Thomas clearly explains the reasons and the rationale behind each step so you can see how things link together. I would recommend this course without hesitation to anyone wanting to learn how to make shoes, whether you are new or experienced.

If you're a shoemaker or a shoe lover ! This place is worth checking out ! I had the pleasure to be there on my 3 week handwelting programs made my first beautiful pair of Balmor boots with Fiddle waist. Seriously Thomas can make any kind of shoes ! ⛸️🧦👞🥿👡👢🥾👠👟

I recently completed a boot making course with Thomas, it was the best thing I've ever done! Thomas is an excellent teacher with a relaxed, casual approach to his teaching. I chose to do my course with Thomas because he was very flexible with course dates, teaches in small groups allowing for more guidance throughout the course and I liked the style of shoes he made. If your thinking of doing a shoe making course I highly recommend Thomas, worth every penny!

I definitely recommend taking a course with Thomas. I did the 10 day traditional bespoke class and I was impress and proud of the beautiful pair of shoes I made. The class is very hands-on, which I really enjoyed and made me learn a lot. He is very a knowledgeable and patient teacher, available to answer all my questions and guide me through all the steps involved in handmade shoemaking. It was totally worth the trip to England from Canada! I’d totally come back and do another course with him!
