Vintage Restoration Workshops

Next to running our shop, we also offer vintage restoration workshops. These workshops are part of our mission to promote reuse and teach people how to extend the life of vintage furniture!

We love hosting these workshops, and here’s what previous participants have said:

“This was absolutely fantastic and wonderful, we learned so much and it was great fun!”

“I loved every minute of it and am super happy with what I've learned and how my pieces have turned out.”

With a maximum of 6 participants per session, we ensure personalized attention for everyone.
