Bring your old shoes (or bags) and give them a brand new life in this fun and creative upcycling workshop at Leigh Spinners Mill. Whether you're a DIY newbie or already a crafty pro, you'll spend three hours learning how to dye, stamp, paint, and embellish your way to something totally unique and totally yours. Dig out those worn kicks from your wardrobe, or pick up something fab from a local charity shop and transform it to your taste – it's all about creativity, sustainability, and having a laugh while you're at it.
You'll work with leather or faux leather to get the best results, using our range of metallic finishes, paints, and amazing craft goodies to make your pieces shine. There's no pressure to follow rules – this is about experimenting, playing with colour, and discovering what happens when you make something that's completely personal to you. Our brand new studio at Leigh Spinners Mill is fully kitted out with everything you need, plus there's onsite parking and cafes, so you can settle in and enjoy the creative process.
You'll leave with shoes or accessories you've totally transformed – pieces that are uniquely yours, full of personality, and ready to wear with pride. It's upcycling at its best: taking something that was heading for the bin and turning it into something you actually love.
What you'll get
One funky, unique pair of shoes or another accessory to show off to everyone!
Knowledge required
None at all!
What to bring
Please bring ONE ITEM with you to upcycle. This can be shoes, a bag, or another accessory. We recommend leather or faux leather for the best finish, as fabrics can leave texture when working with metallics.

The Wolf Workshop

The Wolf Workshop is an artisan leatherwork studio in Leigh, England. Owned and run by Pipa, the workshop was born from the love of craft and sharing knowledge.
Pipa is an award winning, internationally travelling cosplayer with a background in Fine Art and a bachelors degree in Game Design. She was the Social Media Manager and UK Demonstrator for Tandy Leather before the store closure and subsequent redundancy.
Within her lifestyle of crafting, Pipa began making handmade leather goods for family and friends during the Christmas period. She posted photos of her pieces online, and from there The Wolf Workshop was formed.
The Wolf Workshop was built on passion and love, and that foundation is the core of the studio. Creating artisan leather goods made with care and heart, each piece being unique to the customer. But that belief shouldn't just be held to us, we want to share our knowledge and heart-felt love of craft with anyone who wishes to learn. We invite everyone to our classes, using our beautiful workshop space to create something incredible.
