It was a great experience!

"Creativity and craftsmanship came together. Rosanne combines her sense of beauty and proportions with solid craftsmanship. I learned a lot and took a pair of beautiful and comfortable boots home. I come back for my second pair."

On to the second pair!

"I enjoyed cycling to Rosanne’s workshop seven Saturday mornings. Her passion for traditional shoe making is the first thing that strikes you during the instructions that my fellow student and I received. But also her knowledge and skills, her patience and professionalism are not to be missed. Step by step we got closer to the shoes I made. Shoes that I wear quite often."

I LOVE TO CREATE

"I love to create something with my hands and I’m interested in shoes. Rosanne managed to convey her enthusiasm during these intensive days. My design was judged on the practicality, but the implementation was entirely up to me. I am proud of the end result!"

I won't look at shoes the same ever again

"I really enjoyed this experience. It was super interesting to go through all the steps of shoe making and understand what skills and tools are required to make a pair. I won’t look at shoes the same way ever again. I had a fun and pleasant time."
