Decorative Arts class: footwear projects!

[labricoleuse]

Wow, i can tell it's been a busy season and semester--no posts since October! But, the semester's winding down and i found some time to blog. Today, a survey of some of my students' footwear projects for the class i'm teaching this semester! (If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have gotten a realtime peek at some of these already...)

Fabulous!

Every time you post project pictures I am amazed (and a little sad I can't take a class).

I would love to make my own shoes. Must look around locally, maybe there's a class.
