Inspired by Kate Sekules and her creative approaches to textile repair—shared in Mend! A Refashioning Manual and Manifesto—this embroidery workshop in London explores the art of visible mending as both a practical and expressive craft.
No experience needed—just bring something you’d like to mend! You’ll start by learning some simple embroidery stitches like running stitch, chain stitch, buttonhole stitch, French knots, and a few decorative techniques such as spider wheel roses.
In the second half, you’ll dedicate time stitching on your own garment to embellish, highlight, or creatively repair stains and worn areas with support from the tutor.
Good to know:
  • The Remakery is committed to making ecological craft more accessible to the community -- all our Thursday classes are subsidised to make them affordable.
  • Wherever possible, we offer a 'Community Ticket' at a reduced rate. These tickets are aimed at people who face financial barriers to taking part, particularly if you're under 25 or unwaged.
  • ‘True Cost Ticket’ allows us to keep the programme going. We appreciate the support of all the local crafters out there who come to try something new and meet like-minded people.
  • ‘Pay It Forward Ticket’ includes a donation towards Remakery running costs.
What you'll get
  • A range of technique samples for embroidery stitches.
  • A visible mend on your own garment!

The Remakery started 10 years ago as a community space for repairing and upcycling furniture.
Since then we have developed several communal workshops for a range of eco-craft activities, and an exciting programme to link climate action with the empowerment of making with your hands.
Our practitioners have trained at London's top Arts schools, or developed their skills over years of self-discovery.
Our programme is curated by Alice Holloway; A researcher in regenerative fashion with The RCA and London Met university, and Innovate Creative Catalyst grant winning regenerative fashion designer.
The skills we share at the Remakery are proven to improve mental health, as well as change how class attendees see the world. We want everyone to feel empowered to make a difference, and we have seen how learning to make something is often in the first step towards changing something bigger.
