WoRD x Darcy Emery present: 'Here and there' - stool making workshop

‘Here and There’ brings young people together for a conversation with locally sourced materials. You’ll go home with a stool you’ve made, know how to repair it, and where it has come from. It’s your piece of ‘here’ to take ‘there’ – wherever that might be.

No experience required – get hands-on and build a stool in a day!

In this special session, Darcy Emery and WoRD will share with you the skills to make your own reclaimed timber stool in just a day. You can Learn more about the Here and there workshop here.

Suitable for ages 18 - 25.

All materials provided, but please bring any scrap fabric you’d like to use for your stool.

PPE provided. Enclosed footwear must be worn.

The GED is an outdoor space, so bring weather-appropriate clothing!

There will also be a short lunch break at 2pm so please bring some lunch with you.

Workshop starts at 12pm sharp - please arrive on-time to begin!

See you there!

About WoRD:

Since 2022, The Woodshop of Recycled Delights CIC has been addressing the pressing issue of wood waste while harnessing its potential.

We empower people to up-cycle waste wood, get involved in their local green spaces, share resources and keep making. We do this by teaching woodworking workshops, creating volunteering opportunities, and constructing sustainable timber infrastructure for community projects across London. We're passionate about supporting people to make whatever they want out of reclaimed material, and the possibilities are truly endless.

We take a co-learning approach, so whilst our facilitators are experienced, they are not experts. Together we can work out how to make or fix things using reclaimed materials.
