arrow_right_alt arrow_downwardStep into creativity and walk out in a pair of sneakers like no one else’s. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and paint your very own pair of custom sneakers, guided by multi-disciplinary artist Zena Dubray.
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 white canvas sneakers (valued at $135, for this workshop only $60).
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 sneaker head, or just keen to try something new.
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 the one of the leading causes of pollution worldwide. For that reason Zena spent a lot of time sourcing the best methods of executing this project. That’s when she found Etiko – A local business doing their part by creating a sustainable fashion brand.
If choosing a pair of Etiko shoes please note they use UK sizing, for a comparision chart see above photos
Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class

Zena Dubray
Zena Dubray is a multidisciplinary artist from the Gold Coast, now based in Melbourne since 2016. Her creative practice spans across visual art and fashion, with a strong focus on sustainability and upcycling. What began as drawing and stitching imagery onto denim has grown into a dynamic exploration of materials and techniques, including painting with screen-printing inks and working with stencils.
Building on these experiments, Zena has recently expanded her practice into custom sneaker painting. Inspired by the idea of making wearable art both accessible and environmentally conscious, she has partnered with Etiko, a local ethical fashion brand known for its fair-trade sneakers and clothing.
Through her sneaker painting workshops, Zena invites participants to experiment, play, and express themselves by transforming sneakers into one-of-a-kind fashion statements. Her sessions are designed to be high-quality, inclusive, and beginner-friendly—welcoming all experience levels to step into the world of custom footwear design.
