Art & Customization Workshops

About Art & Customization Workshops
Why I Run These Workshops
Art is my full-time hustle. I’m Ridhii, and I believe custom work is about telling your story, not just copying trends. I’m obsessed with making things personal, whether that’s a pair of sneakers or a passport cover. You’ll see all the behind-the-scenes mess, not just the Insta-perfect bits.
What We Actually Do
- Sneaker painting class is my jam. You’ll get hands-on with prepping, painting, and sealing your own kicks. I show you how to use Angelus paints, get those crisp lines, and make sure your design sticks (literally).
- I also host DIY leather paint workshops for groups, brands, and corporate teams. These aren’t just tutorials - we make stuff you can actually use.
- At events, my pop-up, THE ART NOOK, brings live art customization to anything from tote bags to luxury wallets. Each piece is personalized on the spot, making every event a little less boring.
Who Shows Up?
Anyone with a creative itch. Sneakerheads, fashion folks, artists, or even people just wanting to try something new. Brands book me for personalized event art, and teams join in for team-building art sessions. No art degree needed - just curiosity.
Real Talk
I won’t sugarcoat it - it’s a process. But if you’re up for learning and making something that’s 100% your own, you’ll fit right in. Your feedback and ideas matter, and I keep things chill (thoda jugadu bhi ho sakta hai - sometimes we improvise).

My Story
Hi, I'm Ridhii. Mumbai is home, and so is my art. People always ask if this is a 'real job' – ha, if only they knew! I started with one order in 2022. Now, I’ve worked with dream brands, judged student competitions, and still get those weird questions. AI art? Maybe it’s cool, maybe it’s not, but nothing beats pouring my own story (and yours) into custom kicks. That’s what makes it real.
My Work
Hand-painting & Customization - I paint sneakers, bags, and more. Each piece gets a personal touch, not just colors.
Coffee-Dyed Sneakers - Yup, I dye shoes with coffee beans. Retro stains, sometimes from your fave brand’s beans.
Live Customization at Events - I do live sneaker customization at pop-ups. You bring the stuff, I paint it on the spot.
Workshops & Judging - I host art workshops and judge college design contests. Always up for sharing and learning.
Unique Themes & Pet Portrait Shoes - Mixing travel, pets, flowers, even Google maps – I turn wild ideas into wearable art.
