Muswell Hill Creatives Make and Mend Festivals
A Celebration of Craft, Community and Creativity
Muswell Hill Creatives Make and Mend Festival is a joyful gathering where craft, community, and inspiration come together. You can
get hands-on with craft workshops from paper lampshade making to jewellery upcycling under the expert guidance of skilled artisans and take home something truly special made by local makers.

Steph Rubbo Saddlery & Leather Work was on hand to advise on repairs to leather bags, accessories and furniture which she carries out in her Wood Green studio.
As she stitches by hand, Steph can do work that is difficult or impossible to re-stitch on a machine, or if the item is in a fragile condition. From running repairs to full replacement of leather panels, breathe new life into favourite leather pieces through repair. |

Wave Hub
We were joined by the team at Wave Hub in March. Nestled in the heart of Muswell Hill, Wave Hub is a vibrant, welcoming and fun place, built around a café, where people with and without learning disabilities can meet, socialise and work together. Wave is a social enterprise, established formally in 2017 (as Wave Cafe), home to a wide variety of activities - art, craft, music, fitness, educational, health - potentially anything, so long as it can be inclusive and accessible. |
