This workshop offers a unique opportunity to create your own custom shoes in your unique style!
You will learn how to transform a dull pair of shoes into the shoes of your dreams. The idea is to recycle a pair of shoes that you no longer use. You can bring shoes that you aren't using anymore, find them in the street or in your local charity shop. The goal is to demonstrate how you can use materials to enhance an old shoe that no longer serves its purpose and turn it into something that fits your style. You don't have to finish the shoe during the workshop. The most important thing is to gain the confidence and attitude to try and recreate old shoes. It will be an experimental experience that will allow you to apply this method to any items.
The workshop will last for 3 hours, with a 30-minute break.
