Ever wondered if those sleek, pointy Italian designer shoes could double as a mini shrine? No? Well, I certainly have! It’s time to raid your closets and unearth those fashionably painful relics for a higher purpose. In this uniquely sole-searching workshop, we’ll turn neglected footwear into fashion-forward wall shrines. Whether you fancy crafting an Iconic Stiletto, a majestic Shoecophagus, or perhaps a cozy Loafer Lair is more your style—this class has a spot for every shoe and every soul.

Dust off those uncomfortable pointy-toed pumps or those loafers you loathe and prepare to heel your sole! Armed with paint, collage, and an assortment of found objects, you’ll build, glue, and groove your way to a stylish shoe-shrine. Get ready to shrine your shoes… those boots aren’t just made for walking.
