Hi, I'm Thea! I’m an experienced workshop teacher who loves meeting new people and making fun things.
In this colourful, creative workshop, you’ll learn how to upcycle your own pair of shoes into wearable art! We will use coloured foils to make your shoes the sparkly soles of your dreams. If sparkly shoes arent your vibe, you could instead bring a handbag, purse, leather jacket or even an ornament- send me a message to see if your item can be transformed!
Whether you're a seasoned crafter or an absolute beginner, I’ll walk you through every step, share insider tricks, and cheer you on. I’ll make sure you leave not just with a shining pair of shoes, but with new skills, confidence, and a kit to keep your shoes in top shape long after the evening is over.
Let’s turn your shoes into sparkling pieces of wearable art, as unique as you are!
Spots are limited - come and sparkle with me!

Recent reviews of Shoe Customisation Workshop: Sparkle Soles

  • 5/5 from Kath Caddy, attended Sep 2026: Thea was so accommodating and managed an online class so easily. The class was fun and suitable for ages 6 right through to adults. We all took home fantastic sparkled items. Definitely would recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Bindi Manansala, attended Aug 2026: Such an instant gratification kind of craft. It’s like magic. And the remakery is such a cool setting. So fun!
  • 5/5 from Deby Cann, attended Jun 2026: A fabulous workshop, Thea is an awesome teacher, I learnt so easily and felt so confident. It was so much fun and the end product is unbelievably glam shoes that are totally incredible. So glad I did this workshop, everyone was so creative and completely engaged, there were so many different and amazing shoes made. Bring your friends and make it even more fun. It was just the best afternoon, do it, you'll love it!
  • 5/5 from Leah Lynch, attended Jun 2026: Thea was a great teacher and the kits we had were great. Being able to purchase more foil to take home was a great addition too. Location was easy to find and access, look forward to seeing other friends attend. Definitely recommend doing it if you've always wanted to have a go.
  • 5/5 from Jen Hall, attended May 2026: Thea was so generous with her time, products and knowledge of the technique, she made us feel so welcome and even brought a birthday banner to celebrate my son’s birthday. Highly recommend her classes. She is a breathe of fresh air and so sparkly.
  • 5/5 from Marc Madeleine, attended Apr 2026: I wasn't sure what to expect in this class but I walked out very happy and proud of what I had made! Thea is a very patient and helpful teacher. She explains things very clearly. All the equipment needed and a vast range of foil colours is provided and there was ample time to ask questions and to exchange ideas. Having a small group was a bonus as there was lots of one on one attention given. There was easily plenty of time to decorate a pair of shoes in the three hours allocated and we are given leftover foil and varnish to finish the project at home. I would certainly recommend this to anyone interested and look forward to more shoe projects at home later!
  • 5/5 from Sheridan Pelham, attended Apr 2026: Thea is an absolute GEM! This was the best class I’ve done. I adored the time with Thea and the sparkles.

Regardless of how you feel about crafty things like this (I have a very low level of enthusiasm) Thea will guide you through and get you into it because her personality is completely infectious!
  • 5/5 from Liz Pensini, attended Nov 2025: I had an amazing time at the Sparkle Soles workshop. The teacher, Thea was incredible. She kept the energy high, explained every step clearly, and made the whole process feel fun and achievable. My shoes turned out so much better than I anticipated. The colours popped, the details looked polished, and I walked out feeling proud of what I made. If you want a creative break that actually delivers results, you should sign up.
