Make and Reuse Creative Workshops: An Introduction to Circular Carpentry, with Sasha Tishkov

Course participants will be introduced to circular carpentry, material, design, and practical furniture-making and assembling elements. By the end of the workshop, every participant will have their chair ready to be taken home.

All timber planks used for this workshop are from wooden pallets responsibly sourced from West London.

Circular carpentry is a production model that involves reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials, extending the life cycle of materials as long as possible – a resilient system that is good for business, people, and the environment.

Make and Reuse Creative Workshops is ACAVA’s programme of free creative courses to inspire us to reuse materials, contribute to the circular economy and make our everyday more sustainable, running from ACAVA’s community makerspace Maxilla Men’s Shed. In 2024, the Shed will be hosting four new courses on furniture modification, contemporary marquetry, leatherwork and circular carpentry.

Register now for the fourth free course in the new series of this year’s Make and Reuse Creative Workshops. Register your interest here.

Please note, priority spaces for the Make and Reuse programme will be offered to the North Kensington community. There are a limited number of spaces on this course, and we will notify you if you have been given a place.
