I am away for most of August but would love to do the Make Do And Mend workshop if it is running in September. I could maybe run a draughtproofing workshop in early September.

Hello friends of Remade in Brixton,

Just a quick update on 3 upcoming events...

Brixton Skill Share drop-in tonight
6-10pm Thurs 24 June, Unit 67-68 Granville Arcade (opposite Cornercopia)

We are moving into a new shared shop (working title Brixton Skill Share) at Unit 67-68 Brixton Village from today, and getting it up and running over the next week. It will be a space to showcase and share making, mending and craft skills from the Brixton community – selling locally made products and offering space for workshops. It is a pop-up (temporary) shop initially but we plan to make it permanent either in this space or another location.
More information about the project, and tonight's meeting HERE. If you are interested in supplying products to the shop, running workshops / courses / events, or getting involved as a volunteer to set up the space or staff the shop... please get in touch!

Recycle Week Lambeth 2010
11-4pm Sat 26 June, Windrush Square, Brixton

Bring your unwanted WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) to Lambeth's ‘WEEE Give and Take’ event at Windrush Square on Saturday 26th June.
11am – 1pm – Bring your unwanted WEEE along to the Lambeth Recycling stall.
2pm – 4pm – Take something you do want away with you, absolutely free!

Items that can be accepted include:
Phones, mobile phones, remote controls, chargers, radios, VCRs, digiboxes, speakers, electronic toys, hairdryers, hair straighteners, electric toothbrushes, hair trimmers, shavers, hair curlers, kettles, toasters, irons, blenders, sandwich toasters, whisks, electric scales and more.

There will also be Open Remaking Workshops where you can sew your own shopping bag from reused materials, with our sewing teacher Maggie.
I will be there with Remade in Brixton info and a Tetra Pak wallet making stall. If you fancy helping to make wallets or you've got other remaking skills that you'd like to share with the public in Windrush Square, you're welcome to come and join in – drop me an email!

2nd Clean-Up Afternoon at Brixton Reuse Centre
1-5pm Weds 30 June, corner of Lilford / Paulet Road (entrance at the end of Penford Street, SE5)

Tuesday's Clean-Up at the proposed Brixton Reuse Centre site was a great step towards transforming the garages into a usable space. We cleared over 90% of the garages, filled 2 skips with rubble and litter, collected recyclables and some intriguing bric-a-brac!

Next Wednesday we are holding a second Clean-Up afternoon to finish clearing out the last of the junk from a couple of particularly stuffed garages. If you are able to join us at any time between 1-5pm – even for an hour or two – that would be fantastic! We will have skips, shovels, brooms, bags and heavy duty gloves... but if you have your own gloves they could come in handy.

The Reuse Centre site is at the corner of Paulet and Lilford Road as shown on this map (actually a little further down than the marker – entrance is on Penford Street, behind the garages). If you are planning to come down please RSVP to this email.

Best wishes

Hannah Lewis
