Join artist Frank Zombie and The Gantt for a special hands-on workshop using acrylic and leather paint to customize designs on old (or new) footwear. With an assortment of color options and paint brush sizes, participants can add names, shapes, color blocks, and more. Supplies will be provided minus a pair of (preferably white) leather or canvas shoes that you will need to bring to the workshop. The experience will involve mostly leather paint, so leather shoes such as Air Force 1’s, Stan Smith Adidas, and some Jordan 1’s are preferred. All ages and experience levels are welcome.
