Enjoyed the pace and stories that was shared about the history of sashiko. The new skill learned, will be used over and over again when I repair my clothes. Thanks for a fun and very interesting course.

I did the indigo dyeing workshop yesterday at Reverse Garbage. I had no idea what to expect but it was so much fun! I loved that it was a small group - only 10 of us! Kirsten was our teacher and she was so warm, friendly, and encouraging and the hours flew by. It was a relaxing day but I also learned + more

Class was great. Surprised my earrings turned out as well as they did. Could do with a little more time to allow better drying. Teacher was lovely and helped all the participants. Get fun. Stress reliever for me... I painted the earring base when I got home to match the pink.... a nd I bought some fabric + more

Tsumami class with Izumi. Interactive, Izumi very patient & kind. Very enjoyable learning, happy to take home a finished product

Karen Beilharz

I really enjoyed this workshop with Izumi! She was very knowledgeable and walked us through every step. I think it might be helpful if she provided some diagrams for the maru tsumami and ken tsumami--like the ones for origami. Also, it would have been helpful to know that the initial gluing step was + more

Amy

Our teacher was lovely! She guided us through the process well, was very patient and helped us troubleshoot any slippery fabric negotiations. We all ended up with some lovely flowers!

Excellent class, lovely teacher

Susan Roberts

• Repair Day Experience - 16.10.26. • I was able to find-out how best to mend a skirt. Because I wasn't sure how to approach its mending, a long-neglected skirt now has another whirl at life! I now have another method in my skill-set for mending tricky spots of a garment. • Host was generous with + more

Sewing repair workshop - very welcoming, inclusive, I felt part of something with like minded people. Thank you very much, hopefully I can play with work hours to attend your monthly Monday sewing mornings

We went to the E-waste robots session. My boy loved smashing the piano and used the pieces to build his robot.

Ryan Delzoppo

Fantastic workshop! The instructors did a wonderful job bringing the concepts of reduce, reuse, and recycle down to a kid-friendly level through fun, hands-on activities. The teachers were friendly, approachable, and clearly deeply passionate about their craft. It was inspiring to see the kids so engaged + more

Kaizel Williams

Excellent instruction and informative session too. Bring an apron and some snacks/eat before hand, the 4hr session goes by in no time!

Heidi Ernst

Great class! Teacher was amazing, great space and plenty of time and materials to experiment and get a feel for lino. Would definitely consider doing another class here.

Glenys Long

Thoroughly enjoyable class and very satisfying to complete our first artwork in the class. Louise was very helpful and managed the different timings of each pupil well. I would recommend this class to anyone as you don't need to be an artist as Louise provides a large selection of templates.

Kateryna Nemesh

There was plenty of time to carve the linocut and there was a generally relaxed atmosphere. All the tools and materials were provided.

Deborah de Jong

There should have been an opportunity to create more. Left early as I had completed the workshop well ahead of time. Teacher was great but could have lesson planned to accommodate those who worked at a faster pace.

Annette Hansen

We learnt to make leather flowers for a brooch or hair pin. Izumi our teacher presented an overall view of the workshop, provided all the equipment and supplies and showed us how-to make the flowers stage by stage. There was a fun atmosphere with lots of laughter. All our flowers turned out very professionally + more

David Helliwell

A great little class. Nice teacher and good end results

Iman Ayoubi

Izumi was a great instructor walking us through each step of creation. I learned to work with kangaroo leather and the environment was very encouraging.

Maria Chetcuti

The class was so much fun the teacher explained the process very well from beginning to end and also explained the differences in materials and why we can only use certain types of leather to complete the project.

Dalia Kaldas

A lovely relaxed atmosphere. We learnt how to make leather flowers which looked great. Teacher was clear and friendly.

Yvonne Cheng

I had a great time with Izumi in this class. We all made beautiful brooches, each one is unique. Izumi is an awesome teacher and the experience was fun and engaging.

Kathryn Hirst

I enjoyed the making and class was great, especially considering it was a covering presenter due to illness.

Siobhan Bryan

The class was really great! They provided everything you needed to get the job done and there was work done on two projects: A set project and a personal free for all. My one suggestion would be to bring a template/pattern for what you are planning to make for your personal project so that you don't + more

I had a lovely time learning the Kintsugi process from Yoko who provides a great balance of Kintsugi history and culture, and technical and creative skills. The time flew and I feel I now have the knowledge and skills to repair some of my pieces. Thanks Yoko!

Eliza Oconnor

My daughter absolutely loved the Reserve Garage school holiday program. It was engaging, hands‑on, and such a fun way for kids to learn about sustainability and reusing materials in a creative environment. The team made every activity exciting, and she came home proud of what she’d made and eager + more

Liz Watts

I did not expect the detail of this workshop in only 4hrs! Yoko is a wonderful teacher, full of so much information which she communicated really clearly. Wonderful background to the art of Kintsugi and its uses and application, all done whilst instructing really practically how to repair ceramics. Great workshop!

Fiona Elliott

I loved this camp, went in school holidays all the kids were kind and loved our teachers louie and yaz. My favourite thing was building our diorama and being able to do what ever scene we wanted and having it all reused so we weren't wasting a thing! I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Kate!
