Free zero-waste paper-cutting workshop at Grove Gardens Chapel — no experience needed
10 October 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
A free, drop-in creative session is coming to the beautifully restored Grove Gardens Chapel in Richmond, run by The Fixery — a project that rescues materials headed for the bin and puts them back into creative use.
The zero-waste paper-cutting workshop invites participants to cut, stick and arrange using reclaimed magazines, paper and other rescued materials to make whatever they like: a collage, a greeting card, a vision board or something entirely original. There is no set theme or instruction, which makes it a relaxed option for adults who might feel nervous about structured art classes.
All materials on the day are provided free of charge, including non-toxic glue, though participants are welcome to bring their own supplies or reference images for inspiration. Whatever is made can be taken home at the end of the session.
Grove Gardens Chapel is a short trip from Barnes — roughly ten minutes by car across the river, or accessible by bus. The workshop is an appealing low-cost way to spend a weekend morning or afternoon, particularly for those interested in sustainability and creative reuse.
