  £5 - £15 (£5 for Community Taster Ticket; £15 for True Cost Ticket)

Get a handle on basic power tools so that you can complete DIY projects and repairs with confidence. Women and gender-diverse people are welcome at this friendly, confidence-building workshop, where you will be guided through the safe use of a range of hand power tools and how to apply them to your own projects.
This hands-on workshop is run by the WEVA Collective, who are committed to breaking down gender barriers in construction and the built environment.
The Remakery is committed to making ecological craft more accessible to the community. All our Thursday classes are subsidised to make them affordable and guarantee an income for local ecological practitioners.
For Thursday Taster Classes, we offer 'Community Taster Tickets' at £5. These tickets are aimed at people who face financial barriers to taking part, particularly if you're under 25 or unwaged.
The 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.
Please note: due to the high admin cost of rearranging classes, we don't offer refunds or reschedules for Thursday evening classes.

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.
