03 Nov Great News! Repair & Upcycle Workshops Receive Further Islington Council Support

We’re excited to share some fantastic news! Our popular bi-monthly Repair & Upcycle drop-in workshops have received further support from Islington Council, allowing us to confirm workshop dates right through to spring next year.

These free community sessions, hosted at FC Designer Collective shop on Fonthill Road, offer a welcoming and creative space for local residents to bring along clothing and textiles from home and give them a new lease of life.

Whether it’s repairing a favourite garment, making simple alterations or getting creative with upcycling, the workshops encourage participants to rethink how they use and care for their clothes. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to learn practical skills, share ideas and discover how small changes can make a big difference.

At a time when reducing textile waste and making more sustainable fashion choices is increasingly important, these sessions provide a hands-on way to embrace more conscious consumption. Rather than throwing away items that may have a little more life in them, we’re encouraging people to repair, reuse and reimagine.

Just as importantly, the workshops bring people together, creating opportunities to connect with others, learn something new and enjoy the satisfaction of making something with your own hands.

Join Our Next Workshop!

Our next Repair & Upcycle session takes place on:

Tuesday 24th November at FC Designer Collective, 113–115 Fonthill Road, London N4.

Located just a short walk from Finsbury Park tube station, the venue is easy to reach and provides the perfect space to get creative.

These workshops are free to attend, but places are limited and advance registration via Eventbrite is essential.

We’re incredibly grateful to Islington Council for their continued support in helping us deliver these valuable community sessions, and we look forward to welcoming both familiar faces and new participants over the coming months.
