Join us for a unique and fun workshop to put your best illustrated foot forward for the Falmouth Memorial Library's Ugly Sweater Road Race on Saturday December 6! You can wear your custom-made sneakers at this great community event, and following the race, you'll be able to show off your style all winter long in your personally designed creation! Celebrated Maine artist Eamon White is known for emblazoning sports shoes with imagery meaningful to the wearer, including a line of footwear designed for the New England Patriots! Join Eamon as he shares his passion for creating one-of-a-kind custom footwear and discusses the digital techniques behind his powerful imagery. Workshop participants will follow Eamon's technique using paint markers on a pair of their own white or light-colored shoes. You won't want to miss this second program in the Illustration Institute Great Slate of Programming series!

This workshop is designed for children in middle and high school, but all ages are welcome. Registration is required; space is limited. Please bring a pair of your own shoes or sneakers, ad the library will provide the paint markers. Register here!
