Welcome to the Club
My name is Vicky D'Incecco and I'm a shoemaker, artist, & a lover of footwear history!
One of my greatest joys comes from sharing my knowledge of shoemaking, gained over almost 10 years of experience, and making it approachable for a new generation of makers!
I aim to teach you how to create the shoes of your dreams by using vintage recreation projects as practice, learning the techniques & applying them to anything you wish to create!
Not just learning to make shoes, but using proper techniques to achieve beautiful results!
FAQs
Courses are pre-recorded to allow you to learn at your own pace!
Yes! My shop offers payment plans through ShopPay.
For life!
All required tools and materials will be mentioned in detail during the course introduction, but it is basically: a knife, scissors, lasting pliers, hammer, and access to a sewing machine. As for materials: upper leather/fabric, contact cement, leather for insoles/outsoles, lasts, heels or leather for stacking heels, and shanks.
I have designed the courses to allow you to use any last you have! But if you specifically want to use the same last/heel combo I use, be sure to order through my Supply Shop Pre-Orders. Or in some cases you will be given the opportunity to shop course-specific kits!
Yes! Unless otherwise specified. I do my best to explain everything in detail, so that a complete beginner will still be able to understand.
If you didn't sign up in time you will still be able to take the course "evergreen" (or pre-recorded). Evergreen courses don't include live coaching but have the option to add-on some live sessions with me!
Yes, you receive access to the entire course right away.
I have almost 10 years of experience crafting shoes using traditional techniques. I have worked for private clients making bespoke work, shoes for films, and most recently a collection of made-to-order shoes.
My focus on excellent quality crafting and finishes has allowed me to seek out the best practices to achieve the most beautiful results. Using time-honored old-world shoemaking techniques, exploring history, and shoemaking in the same way as my favorite makers of the past!
Absolutely not! I'm here to show you the way but your creativity should always be considered. Use any material you want, any color you want, or even change the design.
My goal is to teach you the methods so you can make anything you dream!
My courses are designed for anyone to be able to make their shoes, regardless of access to a workshop. I have made shoes from home for many years!
Access to a sewing machine is highly recommended.
