SPARK YOUR SKILLS: Free Electrical Repair Workshops, SESSION 6
About this Event
SPARK YOUR SKILLS - FREE ELECTRICAL REPAIR WORKSHOPS
This summer, we’re launching a rolling program of Electrical Repair Workshops at BASELINE Studios, delivered in partnership with the Repair Rooms and Lancaster West Neighbourhood Team.
Designed for residents of North Kensington, these hands-on sessions will introduce the foundations of safe electrical repair and DIY maintenance at home. Participants will learn practical skills to diagnose and repair everyday household items, helping to reduce waste, save money, and build confidence in tackling common electrical issues.
For those keen to develop their skills further, the workshops also offer a pathway to becoming involved in local community repair initiatives, with opportunities to get experience in Repair Cafés around London.
Whether you're a complete beginner or simply curious about repair, these workshops are a great way to learn new skills and connect with your local community.

SESSION 6 -Soldering - let’s make metal paths for electrons
An Introduction to soldering for repair. This deep dive introduces you to the fundamental skills needed to make reliable electronic soldered joints and create working circuits
You’ll gain an understanding of:
- What soldering is (and what it isn’t)
- What makes a good soldered connection
- How to set up your soldering workstation for effective work
- Using a soldering iron safely and effectively for through-hole soldering
- Practical experiences building a working electronic circuit
- Hands-on experiences of desoldering components and wires using a range of techniques
Soldering consistently well across a range of situations takes regular practice, but starting with a solid foundation and understanding of the process can set you up to tackle a wide variety of tasks; and the same principles apply to surface mount components, and other approaches such as hot air reflow, and industrial manufacturing.
