Unleashing Creativity 101: Paint your shoe
It’s a small but bold statement — painting shoes as a way back into making things by hand.
Rediscovering making
Growing up I loved to draw, paint and create. As education and career took over, that side drifted. In 2018 I found it again through painting shoes.
It was more than a hobby. It meant taking a risk, trying something new, and building confidence in the mess — attention to detail, patience, and learning from mistakes.
If you want to paint your own, start with good leather paint. Angelus Leather Paint is easy to use and finishes cleanly.
