Repair and Restoration: Tools, Tips, and Your First Project

Join Shelley from The Restoration Workshop to learn the basics of repair, restoration, and essential tool techniques!

Whether it’s a small piece of furniture, broken picture frame, a children’s toy, jewellery box, or a sentimental item waiting for a little TLC, this workshop is for you.

With over 20 years of experience, Shelley will teach you simple, practical techniques on how to use essential tools to breathe new life into your treasured belongings.

Bring along an item you’d like to restore and learn how to identify common issues and get advice on how to approach the repair process and restore or transform your item into something fresh and new.
If you have any questions about the item you are bringing please get in touch with Shelley: shelleycresswell@gmail.com

By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel confident to begin tackling your own repair and restoration projects at home.

It’s an afternoon of creativity, connection, and discovering the hidden potential in everything around you.

Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and take the first step toward uncovering the art of restoration!
This event is suitable for attendees aged 18+.
