Sneaker Painting Workshop

Step into creativity and walk out in a pair of sneakers like no one else’s. In this hands-on, BYO-friendly workshop, you’ll design and paint your very own pair of custom sneakers, guided by multi-disciplinary artist Zena Dubray. We’ll be creating to the sound of fresh hip hop beats, setting a fun, expressive vibe throughout the session.

We’ll kick things off with a quick dive into sneaker culture and a look at different techniques and styles you can use to bring your ideas to life. You’ll then experiment with paints and pens on spare canvas swatches before moving onto the real deal. BYO canvas sneakers or add on a fresh pair of Etiko Fairtrade canvas sneakers (valued at $135, for this workshop only $80, variety of colours available to select at checkout).

Along the way, you’ll learn how to create designs that last, explore colour combinations, and even customise extras like your shoelaces or add sneaker jewellery. This is a relaxed, creative session open to everyone; whether you’re an artist, a sneakerhead, or just keen to try something new. Feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks to enjoy as you work.

We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Etiko, a local, sustainable fashion brand that’s Fairtrade, organic, and vegan; proving that creativity and ethics go hand in hand. Fast fashion is one of the leading causes of pollution worldwide, and for that reason Zena spent considerable time sourcing the best methods for executing this project. That search led her to Etiko; a local business doing its part by creating truly sustainable fashion.
