Uppermaking workshops<\/h3>\n
\n

Depending on demand and the current situation in our workshop, we offer uppermaking workshops for individuals or groups of up to four people.<\/p>\n

Here we benefit from our experience in teaching at vocational schools, at conferences abroad and, above all, from our twenty years of involvement at the Academy of the D\u00fcsseldorf Chamber of Crafts, where we taught master orthopaedic shoemakers in uppermaking.<\/p>\n

The workshops are offered in both German and English.<\/p>\n

The content of the workshops can be tailored to the participants. The workshops consist of theoretical content and practical exercises. Possible topics include:<\/p>\n
