- 5/5 from Lucy Carruthers, attended Jan 2026: Fantastic workshop run by the brilliant Monica - I highly recommend this class for the clear instructions and all the prep that was done before so we could focus on the making! Top tip is to wear durable socks… it’s such a calming process and I’m thrilled with the results! Thanks Lucy
- 5/5 from Isabel Gill, attended Sep 2025: Such a great class - Monica is a wonderful teacher and the brushes she taught us to make are beautiful!
- 5/5 from Jodie Boyd, attended Sep 2025: Fantastic place and concept and makers! My 3rd workshop at the remakery and I wasn't disappointed! Left with a fabulous brush. Thank you so much we'll be back!
- 5/5 from Cece Bittner, attended Feb 2025: Excellent class - all supplies available and easily explained. Lovely atmosphere and a helpful teacher making a complex craft doable for a layperson. The gorgeous cafe at the Remakery made the class all the better; coffee in the morning and a delicious lunch after the class. Extra plus that the cafe has delicious gluten free options.
- 5/5 from Tanya Snook, attended Feb 2025: What a fantastic taster course. Great environment with excellent tuition and resources. Relaxing atmosphere and very one came away with a terrific outcome (successfully making an enviable natural brush).
- 5/5 from Deramore Hutchcroft, attended Feb 2025: Absolutely fantastic workshop, perfect way to spend a few enjoyable hours crafting and intriguing object. What I think is quite amazing, is on one had done anything like it before and we all created an incredible object, all of them were really lovely. You have to do it. Also, the food is incredible, so after the workshop definitely get some lunch
- 5/5 from Flora Gordon, attended Feb 2025: What a wonderful workshop! Monica is so knowledgeable and patient. It was very satisfying to be able to make a beautiful brush with no prior experience. Lovely friendly atmosphere too - Can’t think of a better way to spend a couple of hours. Thank you so much!
- 5/5 from Anastasya Martynova, attended Feb 2025: Really enjoyed it and happy with my brush! Learnt a lot in a short space of time. Teacher was friendly and encouraging. Will recommend the class to others!
- 5/5 from Quyen Phan, attended Jan 2025: Honestly, one of the best craft workshops I've done. The Brixton Remakery is a great organisation that made it affordable for me to attend a brush making class that would usually be completely inaccessible for me. Ever so grateful and the initiative is amazing in that it gathers local people, crafts people, makers. But also, I live in SW nearly all my life and the first time I visited was when I moved to Dagenham. So anyone is welcome, don't have to be local.
- 5/5 from Donna Hartley, attended Jan 2025: Really lovely class, chilled atmosphere with a knowledgeable teacher. And left with a lovely brush to take home.
- 5/5 from Sue Parker, attended Jan 2025: Made a wonderful little brush at the remakery. It was super satisfying to do and very well taught. It’s a great space run by excellent people full of knowledge and enthusiasm. Would highly recommend.

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.
