Design collective Household and Sara Melin have joined forces to set up
a temporary skills exchange platform in a vacant retail unit in
Stratford, with a utilitarian workship interior created by artist Sebastian Acker.
Learn how to mend your damaged goods - from torn sportswear to broken
shop windows - in expert and designer workshops. Collaborate and
discuss in projects focusing on the immediate high street area of
Stratford, currently under transformation for the 2012 Olympics.
Fix the home and the city with new found skills!
