Participants should research this theme online where they will find many examples of amazing shoes, they can also check out Northampton Museum for inspiration. Make drawings and photographs to bring to the wax workshop for inspiration. Click here for free shoe patterns too, as these could be cut from wax sheets to help form the shoe sculptures.
