Yes. Everything is included in the session fee. We use rescued fabrics wherever possible, which means every workshop carries a story about textile waste and conscious consumption. Nothing is bought new unless it has to be.

Nothing at all. We bring everything — needles, threads, tools, and rescued fabrics. All we need from you is a table, chairs, and your team. A meeting room, breakout space, or event area all work well. If you’re unsure whether your space is suitable, just mention it when you get in touch and we’ll figure it out together.

Sessions run for up to 30 participants. For larger teams, we run consecutive sessions on the same day so everyone gets involved without the experience feeling rushed. There’s no fixed minimum, but workshops tend to have the most energy with 10 or more people.

We’d suggest getting in touch at least 4–6 weeks ahead, especially around busy periods like Mental Health Awareness Week, Second-hand September, and the festive season. That said, if your timeline is tighter, drop us a message. We’ll always try to make it work.

Yes. All workshops are designed to be accessible and beginner-friendly, and we adapt to the needs of the group. If anyone on your team has specific accessibility requirements, let us know when you enquire and we’ll plan around them from the start.

Absolutely. If you’re running a sustainability campaign, marking a specific awareness day, or want the session to connect directly to your responsible business strategy, we’ll shape the workshop around it. Most clients come with something specific in mind and that’s exactly how we like it.

Yes, most sessions can work in either format. A structured session takes the whole group through the same technique together and its great for team cohesion and a shared outcome. A drop-in rotation lets people drop in for shorter amount of time and easier to fit into their busy schedule. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll recommend the right format.
