Doing Up Life Together
Discover how upcycling can help you achieve a more creative, freer, sustainable - and fun! - way of living.
When we upcycle together I will help you build the skills - and the confidence - to enjoy and express your own, very individual self through the things you transform and give new life to.
Upcycling what we already have forges much deeper connection with our 'stuff'. You will find what your true personal style which frees you from the cycle of consumption that keeps you buying more things, never really feeling you have enough, or, are enough.
By repairing, restoring, restyling and recycling you focus on giving things love and attention while working with your hands which has been proven to bring massive mental health benefits.
The satisfaction and joy found in saving things and transforming them into something unique, meaningful and tangible yourself is equally so rewarding.
You definitely won't find all that real and lasting feel good factor in another new purchase from a planet-plundering, big brand name shop!
Our waste from overconsumption has a devastating impact on other countries that we just don't see - even when we think we are doing the good thing donating to charity.
The planet is groaning. It's time to make a change for all our sakes so let's get started!
If you'd like to come and have some fun in person on a workshop, there are dates available in the Book a Workshop section. There are also options if you prefer to learn in your own time online.
Get in touch if you would like some help or to chat about options for private workshop or events.

They focus on smooth finish & modern design upcycling for furniture & homewares, whether you wish to learn some essential techniques or go in-depth creating a piece from start-to-finish on full Course.
