    Review of Fabric Slides, April 11, 2009

    This is my second class with Jeanne, looking forward to the next! I love her casual teaching style mixed with the structured step-by-step organization of the courses. She's had so many unique experiences and has great stories to tell! As well as teaching the process of actual shoemaking, Jeanne also teaches a bit about the history of the craft. You come away with a really neat experience. It's like going back in time. I was looking for a creative outlet to balance work stress and get me working with my hands again, the classes have been awesome. I'm addicted... and I'm wearing new shoes. Perfect.

  • "Super fun class...and you get new shoes!"

    Review of Fabric Slides, March 31, 2009

    If you love shoes and enjoy creating fun, unique, totally wearable accessories, this is a great class for you! One of my friends and I took this class and it was an awesome experience. Jeanne is a great teacher and she is perfect at helping you through this class. If you are overwhelmed by the idea of creating a shoe from scratch, don't worry, she will walk you through it and make it easy and fun. My friend and I love our shoes and are super excited to wear our own designs!
