Give your favourite pair a "Gilded" promotion!
Sole Revival Shoe Gilding Workshop: 19 April 2026 from 3-6pm
Do you have a pair of well-loved heels, tired trainers, or boots that have lost their spark? Don’t tuck them away in the back of the wardrobe—turn them into a walking work of art.
In this creative session, I’ll teach you the delicate art of applying gilding foils to footwear. Whether you want a subtle metallic accent or a full-on "spectacularly shiny" transformation, you’ll leave with a bespoke pair of shoes that are guaranteed to turn heads.
What to expect:
Refresh & Prep: How to get your shoes ready for their makeover.
The Art of Foil: Step-by-step guidance on applying gilding adhesive and foil.
Seal & Protect: Tips to ensure your new look lasts through the dance floor.
Biscuits & Bliss: A relaxed, creative atmosphere with fellow upcyclers!
Check your cupboards for those "old reliables" and let’s give them a second life that shines. This is a hands-on session, gilding is a messy business, so it is advisable to wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting glue / glitter on.
Please make sure that the shoes / boots you bring to gild are clean and dry. Leather, Faux Leather, works well, avoid suede or fabric shoes.
Lots of foil colours available, in the workshop you will have the choice of using two colours, either one complete colour with embellishments or two different coloured sections.
