Shoe Making 10-One Year Course 2016
This past week was a very eventful week. Last weekend I travelled to Venice with my boyfriend and had an amazing adventure of sight seeing and walking through the special streets of Venice. We also visited the glass blowing museum on the Murano Island and even went on a Gondola. On Monday I was back in full force working on my shoes and very excited how it was beginning to turn out.
My boyfriend left on Tuesday and on Friday we also had to say goodbye to Chirag, who became a dear friend to all of us while he was attending the short shoe-making course for six weeks.
By Friday most of us had already lasted our shoes and were ready to add the sole and heel. Next week Tuesday we should be finished with our first pair of shoes and will then be starting with the Derby shoe and the Goodyear hand sewing technique.
先週から今週にかけてはイベントが盛りだくさんの週でした。先週末はボーイフレンドとベニスへ行き、素晴らしい景色と街なかの散策を楽しみました。ムラーノ島のガラス博物館へも足を伸ばしゴンドラにも乗ることができたおかげで、月曜には十分リフレッシュした気持ちで靴制作に臨めました。だんだん形になってきた自分の靴に気持ちも上がります。
私のボーイフレンドは火曜に帰ってしまい、金曜には同じクラスで靴制作を学びながら友達になったチラグが6週間のショートコースを終えて帰国の途につきました。
金曜にはほとんどの生徒が吊り込み作業を終え、本底とかかと部分に取りかかる準備が整いました。来週の火曜には私たちの最初の1足が出来上がっているはずで、その後ダービー靴の制作とグッドイヤー靴の手縫いの練習に入っていきます。
The uppers of my shoes all finished and ready to mount and last on my shoe last.

My shoes in the process of lasting. Here I have mounted the back of the shoe as visible with the short nails and the front lining of the shoe with tall needles. After this step the front toe reinforcement of the shoe will be added and then the upper leather will be mounted over and nailed to the shoe last.
