Sole Revival Shoe Gilding Workshop - Brits Love Vintage Interiors

Sole Revival Shoe Gilding Workshop

Give your favourite pair a "Gilded" promotion!

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.

I am thrilled to announce my brand-new workshop: Sole Revival.

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.

Are you shining up your shoes to go the Whitsparkle Ball ? show your ticket receipt and I will donate £5.00 of the ticket price to Whitsparkle.

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. If you are looking for more complex designs we can arrange a longer workshop due to the amount of time required for multiple layers of foils

The workshops take place in a dedicated studio space at the back of the shop. While the front of the shop remains open to the public, the workshop area is yours to create in. Jackie will also be attending to customers during the session, but don't worry—the class is structured so you’ll have plenty of time for independent 'creative flow'. It’s a lovely, bustling environment where you get to be part of the shop’s daily life!
