FREE Repair, Reuse and Upcycling Event

Keen to learn how to update a tired looking piece of furniture? Thinking of throwing away a household item you no longer use? Then come along to our Repair, Reuse and Upcycle event in Haringey and learn the tricks of the trade for turning tired tables into trendy talking points!

Repairing, reusing and upcycling what we already have can create beautiful, unique pieces of furniture and furnishings. A simple change can make a huge difference: by reducing waste, saving money and helping the environment.

As part of a series of events being delivered by NLWA, we will have FREE workshops and demonstrations offering a chance to learn new skills and techniques to repair, reuse, upcycle and breathe life into your cherished possessions.
