Learn Sneaker Customization at My Hands-On Workshops
I’m all about showing you how to turn your sneakers into a personal canvas. Whether it’s a solo masterclass or a group event, we’ll get messy and make something real together.
A little glimpse into one of my hands-on art workshops. I love seeing people get creative and bring their own ideas to life, whether it's on sneakers or leather goods. Everyone is focused on their project, and I'm there to guide the process.
The best part of any workshop is seeing what everyone created. This is a shot from the 'Sole Expressions' event, with the whole crew showing off their freshly painted custom sneakers. So much creativity in one room.
That feeling when you finish your first pair of custom-painted kicks. This participant at one of my workshops is proudly showing off her unique design. It's moments like these that make my job the best.
About Hands-On Workshops & Live Events
When you sign up for a solo masterclass, please bring your own clean, leather or canvas sneakers—Nike Air Force 1s are a solid choice to work on. I provide all the Angelus paints, brushes, and the technical know-how to prep, paint, and protect your kicks so they actually last without peeling or cracking.
I don’t believe in gatekeeping art, which is why my workshops are built to be accessible for everyone, no art degree required. We follow a strict 'Prep-Paint-Protect' method. We start by stripping the factory finish, which is the most boring but crucial step for long-lasting paint. Then, it's all about layering and heat-setting, using professional tools so your hard work stands the test of time.
For private groups and corporate teams, I bring 'The Art Nook' to you. We can handle up to 15 people, and I supply all the kits, palettes, and protective gear. It’s not just a tutorial; it’s a hands-on session where you walk away with a custom piece you actually made.
If you’re looking to add some flair to a wedding, brand launch, or office event, I also do live customization on-site. I can personalize leather tags, tote bags, or sneakers right in front of your guests, with instant-drying finishes so they can wear their new gear before the event ends. Let’s see what we can create together—are you ready to get your hands messy?
