From thrifted to treasured: turn old shoes into walking art.

You don’t need to be artistic - just curious and willing to PLAY.

Instead of tossing them, imagine giving your favorite pair of shoes a second life!

Comfortable, familiar, but too worn out to wear.

NOW ADD...

A splash of color...
A brushstroke of personality...
A playful spirit..

You'll create a pair of shoes that turns heads and makes you say,
“Thanks — I painted them myself.”

It’s not just about painting shoes!
It’s about watching yourself create something you’ll be proud to wear.

Does this sound like you?

YES?

You’ve ever said, “I’m not artistic,” but secretly wished you were.
You love creative projects but don’t want to invest in expensive tools or long courses.
You want something fun, low-pressure, and genuinely satisfying to finish.
You want to wear something that’s 100% unique — and made by you.

NO?

You’re looking for an advanced surface design or fine-art class.
You expect polished perfection on your first try.
You don’t enjoy a bit of playful mess or experimentation.

You'll learn everything you need to know, STEP-by-STEP

Choosing the right shoes and materials
Cleaning, priming, and base-coating
Planning your design using printable templates
Painting with confidence (even if you’re a beginner)
Sealing and finishing for durability

You’ll leave with a pair of shoes you love, the confidence to paint more, and the joy of making something that’s completely yours.

Do I need to be an artist to take this class?

Nope! This workshop is made for absolute beginners. You’ll get templates, examples, and clear instruction — no guessing required.

What kind of shoes can I paint?

Canvas, leather, or fabric shoes work best. Avoid plastic or patent surfaces. You are encouraged to find a pair of thrifted shoes for your first project. We’ll go over your options in the first live Q&A.

What if I mess up?

You can’t really! Most mistakes are easy to fix, and you’ll learn how. We start with practice templates, so you’ll feel confident before painting your actual shoes. And remember - try it out on a pair of thrifted shoes first!

Will the paint last?

Yes — when sealed properly, your designs are flexible and weather-resistant. I’ll show you exactly how to make them wearable and durable. Although, we can't make any guarantees if you are really rough on your shoes!

What if I can't make the live sessions?

Everything is recorded and added to your class portal. You can rewatch anytime.
