Make and Reuse Creative Workshops: An Introduction to Contemporary Marquetry with Amber Bailey

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 second 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.
