Join fashion and footwear designer Hernán Guardamagna to design and customise your very own, unique overshoe accessories, inspired by a personal treasure. Open to children and families of all ages – all materials provided!
Connecting to the theme of ‘A Personal Treasure’, this year’s Bow Open show selected by Lindsey Mendick, come along to create stylish accessories to fit on top of your existing footwear.
Get stuck in with colourful marker pens and arts and craft materials, and walk away with a new wearable creation!
This event is an inclusive, friendly environment which is accessible to all abilities and age groups.
Bow Families is a series of free, drop-in family art workshops that take place on the last Sunday of every month in the Bow Arts Courtyard. These sessions are a wonderful opportunity for local families to get creative and try something new! Each session is led by a Bow Arts’ Artist and all materials are provided.
More about Hernán Guardamagna
Hernan Guardamagna is a London-based footwear designer and maker. Recently, he has delved into the art world as an Artist Educator, sharing his passion for arts and design.
Hernan founded his eponymous footwear brand, which focuses on modern shoes defined by bold silhouettes, geometric shapes, and elements of craftsmanship and futurism.
Recycling and upcycling are two strong pillars of Hernan Guardamagna’s work; thus, many of the workshops he runs centre around customisation, repurposing, or using waste to make art.
