What happens in this class?

We all have shoes we don't wear any more - maybe we are bored with them, the colour isn't right, or we like them so much that we have worn them out. This is your chance to give them a new lease of life! Once you've learned the technique, you will be able to upcycle other pairs at home: all you'll need is time, patience, and a few very affordable materials and tools.

During this 4-hour workshop, you will select papers from Gabriela's extensive collection to transform a pair of shoes into your unique creation…

We loved this! Bought as a gift for a friend that enjoys arty, creative experiences but has already tried her hand at many things. This is very unusual. Gorgeous studio! We were welcomed in by Gabriela and all was explained. We spent 4 relaxing hours chatting over tea and biccies and creating . A one off set at the end that looks great and is truly unique. Thanks Gabriela.

Your Teacher

Gabriela is an artist and maker. She creates prints and collages, greeting cards, jewellery and scarves with images inspired by memory, nostalgia and a love of everything vintage.

Her work is often humorous and whimsical – unless her romantic side takes over and then you enter into a fairy-tale territory of old-fashioned script, pages of books and music scores populated by chivalrous gentlemen, glamorous ladies, butterflies and rabbits. She blends a fusion of painting and digital media – acrylic, watercolour and ink with digital print – onto paper and canvas to create pictures, quirky greetings cards and a range of “art…

Absolutely fantastic. Gabriela is so patient, I was doing shoe decoupage with another woman, two others were decorating glass plates and another two were decorating trays, all with decoupage. We all finished our projects and were delighted with the results. I would definitely recommend this workshop to any one of any ability.

Fabulous class (again!) decoupaging a pair of boots into a work of art. Gabriela is a calm, inspiring teacher whose studio is for me a fairytale place of wonder. I could lose myself there! I've come back with original and fun boots and a joyous heart. We all need more craft in our lives!

I love all of Gabriela’s classes and this one was a favourite. I loved the shoes I decoupaged and can’t wait to wear them. Gabriela is a great teacher and guide and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

It was my second workshop I attended and Gabriela is an amazing person and is a great teacher - again. I went to the mixed media collage workshop last November and now to the shoe decoupage workshop. I am so happy with the result. My shoes got new heels and a new inner sole and are ready to be loved again. Thank you so much for your guidance, passion and your attention for detail.
