Pattern Video Now Available
Putting the “Design” of Shoe Making into Words
Pattern-making is not simply a technique for creating the shape of a shoe.
It is a “technique of thinking” for designing, understanding, and communicating the structure of a shoe.
At The Shoemakers Guild,
we have compiled this most fundamental—and most difficult-to-teach—pattern-making technique into a systematic video course.
What makes this learning material special?
This isn’t just about “how to trace a pattern.”
The video explains everything—from the structural principles of shoes and the balance between individual parts to the process from design to prototyping,
and even how craftsmen make decisions on the job.
“Even vocational schools don’t explain it this thoroughly.”
That’s how serious the content is.
I don't intend to sell to just anyone.
Patterns are the “crystallization of knowledge” that shoemakers refine in their minds.
That is precisely why we do not sell this educational material at a discount.
However, we want it to be accessible to those who are serious about learning.
With that in mind, we have set separate prices for general sales and Guild members.
- Retail price: 120,000 yen
- Guild member price: 60,000 yen
- Guild members with a 3-year contract: 10,000 yen
- Guild members with a 5-year contract: 0 yen
To Those of You Who Are Undecided
You might think, “Maybe it’s still too soon for me.”
But to find out, you first need to discover the “gateway to the right mindset.”
This course doesn’t teach “finished techniques”; it teaches “how to develop those techniques.”
That’s why it’s valuable for everyone—from beginners to professionals.—
Take your shoemaking from simply “making” to the next level: “designing.”
We’ll put the key to that transformation right in your hands.
