Stepping into Creativity: The Sneaker Artistry Workshop at FDDI

Turning Sneakers into Canvases

On 27th February 2025, FDDI Hyderabad turned into a creative playground as we hosted a sneaker artistry workshop in collaboration with Pidilite. The air buzzed with excitement (and maybe a little paint smell) as we were handed pristine white sneakers and told, “Do whatever you want!” Full creative freedom? Yes, please!

Armed with brushes, and vibrant acrylic paints, we dove into our designs. Some people went for bold patterns, others meticulously painted tiny details — every pair of shoes started transforming into a wearable piece of art. Whether inspired by street style, nature, or a spontaneous burst of color, the room brimmed with fresh ideas and artistic energy.




Fridge Magnets & Messy Hands

Pidilite didn’t stop at sneakers — they sponsored fridge magnets and gave us their Mould It clay to shape and paint. It felt like being a kid again, hands covered in paint and clay as we sculpted everything from cute characters to intricate designs. The creative ambience made the whole experience feel less like a workshop and more like a mini art festival.

Friends hyped each other’s work and paint splatters found their way onto clothes (battle scars of creativity, honestly).


Stepping Out with a Story

By the end, everyone had a unique pair of sneakers and a magnet to take home — tangible memories of a day spent creating without limits. Workshops like these remind us why we fell in love with design in the first place: the freedom to experiment, express, and get a little messy in the process.

Would we do it all over again? In a heartbeat. We look forward to joining forces with Pidilite again!
