Shoe pattern making, lasts and soles 3D engineering
Next intake
Learn the fundamentals of engineering of lasts and then the working methodology of Arsutoria School for pattern making; plus deep dive into design and engineering of soles.

This path includes
Ten weeks dedicated to women’s, men’s and sneaker footwear using the Arsutoria methodology—from last flattening and base shell creation to full pattern pieces with the technical details needed for prototyping. Students work through pumps, sandals, lace-ups, boots, derby, oxfords, moccasins, and sneaker constructions including top-lasted, Strobel and knitted uppers.
Students study last types and modification operations—first on wooden prototypes, then in Rhinoceros 3D for CAD-based last and sole design. The course builds the technical foundation needed to independently design a 3D sole and communicate effectively with product development teams and suppliers.
