A repair workshop, helping locals repurpose or fix old furniture, was organised in Islington on Thursday.
Under the guidance of furniture experts, residents learn basic knowledge of wood craftsmanship as a way to encourage sustainable behaviour and save money.
Workshop attendees at the Bush Industrial Estate had the opportunity to gain skills on how to fix, mend, and polish their old furniture pieces as opposed to throwing them away.
Islington Council has made similar workshops in the past involving repairing electronic and textile items.
Patricia Pinto, a 47-year-old Islington resident who attended the council’s previous electronic items repair workshop said: “The learning part is truly amazing”.
She said taking part in the workshop made her feel closer to the Islington community and aided her in saving a bit of money, which she finds “quite rare these days”.

Ms. Pinto also said the workshop aided her in saving a bit of money which she finds “quite rare these days”.
With the increase in the cost of living and one of the workshop’s main objectives being cutting costs, City News wonders if attendance at such workshops has increased due to this reason.
City News reached out to Islington Council for comment. But we have not received any information that could confirm the possible correlation.
