Moose Hide Two-Piece Plains Style Soft Sole Moccasin Level 1 Class

Classes booked with 49 Design Academy are non-refundable. If you cannot make it to the class you schedule, we can help you get scheduled for another class of equal or lesser value. This is a level one class.

This style of moccasin is common among tribes along the Missouri River. It is commonly beaded and seen in powwow regalia. In this class you will make a pair that fits your own feet (or the feet of someone else) by tracing your foot and making a personalized pattern off your own foot. You'll learn how to make custom moccasins for any foot. We utilize moose hide for this class, which is soft and buttery. You can adapt this pattern to include a hard sole, and the process is the same. However, in this class, we will be teaching a soft sole version because it is easier for beginners.

Our classes are meant to enrich your understanding of Indigenous culture. If you are an Indigenous entrepreneur, we encourage you to use the knowledge you learn in our classes to enhance your skill set to make your business better.
