This is how it all started! I’m obsessed with making mosaic shoes in all their glory! We take an ordinary shoe and make it extraordinary. So many of us have shoes we used to wear or a wedding shoe we will never wear again or a shoe we wouldn’t ever wear at all. Why not make them into beautiful art pieces? The design possibilities are endless. Keep in mind your shoe will grow with the addition of plaster wrap and glass. If you are looking for a shoe from a thrift store look for the smallest size. The easiest shoes to make are slides or slip-ons without straps. I will okay your choice before the class. I also have shoes here if you need one.

Look for a focal piece to plant on your shoe toe or choose another way to design as you wish. Feel free to bring your bling or any other things you want to add to your shoe. You may also want to incorporate fine patterned china or metal findings.
