This super fun class encourages participants to clean out their closets and turn their old outdated footwear into quirky works of art! We’ll create expressive faces in shoes using air-dry clay and proven sculpting techniques. We will also cover a variety of finishing techniques to bring your shoes to life. Shoe selection is important and can create a theme for your creations; let your shoes talk to you! No sandals please. You’ll fall back in love with your out-of-style fashion mistakes. This class is appropriate for beginners through advanced creators!
Class size 12
Level Beginner and above
