TOAST & Traid | Repair Workshops

From 2 - 8 March, a range of local London businesses, authorities, non-profits and individuals will host a programme of events to support Repair Week. This year, join TOAST Repair specialists at TOAST Notting Hill and Traid, Shepherds Bush, where we will be celebrating our three-year partnership. Whether darned, reworked or visibly mended using techniques like sashiko repair, a garment that has been given a new life continues to tell a story of the wearer.

Come along to our repair workshops and drop-in consultations and discover the many creative mending options available. Please bring an item you would like to repair; alternatively, learn the techniques and create a small sample.

All workshops are suitable for beginners and free to attend, with the opportunity to make a voluntary donation to Traid.
