Painting and Embellishing Shoes with Margot Silk Forrest
$95.00
Saturday, March 31, 10:00-5:00

Ever wanted to design your own shoes? Margot Silk Forrest will show you how to stretch your imagination -- and your budget -- by transforming plain (or just plain old) shoes into one-of-a-kind works of wearable art. You’ll learn techniques for painting shoes, sandals, and boots made of smooth leather, man-made leather, and fabric. You can pick a theme for your shoes, center the design around a fabulous embellishment or favorite color, or create your design as you go. For inspiration, Margot will bring a trunk show of shoes, boots, and sandals she has done. To see some examples, go to the Gallery at www .sassyfeet.com. You’ll learn how to paint, color block, or stencil your shoes in one or more colors, and attach beads, buttons, charms, piping, chains, appliqués, fabric, leather scraps, even feathers and fur! You can shop from Margot's private stash. You won’t believe how much fun it is to create art on a whole new kind of canvas one that will literally let you strut your stuff.
