The Shiny Shoe Workshop: Turn Old Shoes Into Wearable Art
What if the most interesting pair of shoes you own… hasn’t been made yet?
In The Shiny Shoe Workshop, we’ll transform tired boots and well-loved shoes into bold, shimmering works of wearable art using metallic foiling techniques.
Bring along a pair of leather or faux-leather shoes that deserve a second life and spend a joyful few hours in the studio experimenting with metallic foils, textures, and finishes. With a little creativity (and a lot of shine), you’ll watch your shoes evolve from everyday footwear into something completely unique.
The process is playful, surprisingly easy to learn, and deeply satisfying — perfect for both experienced creatives and complete beginners.
By the end of the workshop you’ll leave with:
✨ A beautifully transformed pair of shoes or boots that you can wear
✨ A new creative technique for upcycling fashion and accessories
✨ The confidence to turn everyday objects into art
This is not just a craft class — it’s a fabulous creative reinvention workshop where fashion, art, and sustainability meet where you can expect a relaxed and fun studio atmosphere, great conversation, and that magical moment when your shoes catch the light for the first time and you fall in love with them all over again!
What to Bring
• One pair of leather or faux leather shoes or boots to transform
• Closed shoes are best (boots, loafers, sneakers, heels all work well)
• Clothes you don’t mind getting a little creative in
All foiling materials and tools are provided.
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is perfect for anyone who loves:
creative workshops
fashion and personal style
upcycling and sustainable art
learning new techniques in a relaxed studio setting
No art experience is necessary — just curiosity and a pair of shoes ready for a glow-up.
Why People Love Workshops at Aphrodite Art School
At Aphrodite Art School, our workshops are designed to be more than just classes and we are sure as hell more inspiring than your average paint and sip studio. They’re creative experiences where people gather, connect, experiment, and leave with something beautiful they never imagined they could make.
And in this case… something you can wear.
