Have you always wanted to make your own pair of shoes? I know I have!!

And it is possible. In East London, I CAN make Shoes - an initiative of Australian shoe designer Amanda Luisa – organises 3-day workshops for amateurs, like me, that dream of making their own pair of killer shoes and take them back home afterwards.

The city of Brussels is concentrating on all aspects of design during the month of September with exhibitions, conferences, private showings, film screenings, debates, visits to designers’ studios, flea market, city tours ….

An interesting workshop is : CUSTOMIZE IT  by RECYCLART

Do you feel like a new flashy colour for your bike, a customised logo on your  skateboard, to revamp the family scooter? Your home-made mode of transport is  really too ugly? Good news: bring them all with you. A team of artists and designers  will undertake their customisation. Share your creativity with them and create a  unique item that will be the envy of all. Finally, strike a pose and the Studio Marcel  will immortalise you together with your vehicle! Or just drop in to take a look and  have a bite to eat and something to drink on the terrace of the Recyclart bar!

Sunday 20th September, Recyclart, Brussels-Chapelle station, rue des Ursulines 25,  1000 Brussels – Info: 02 502 57 34 – www.recyclart.be. Open from 2 PM to 6 PM.
