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 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.
Thomas is an excellent teacher. He's very knowledgeable and guides you patiently through every step of the process. Loved the shoes.
