Written By Alexandra Lunn

Join Ella Doran and Yodomo for a special one-off cushion-making workshop as part of Hackney Sustainability Day! Book your 30 minute slot here!

This is a subsidised event designed to inspire people to reuse materials that might otherwise go to waste.

The event will be hosted at Hackney City Hall service centre- follow signage to find us on the day.

It will be run by Ella Doran and Yodomo who will show the simple techniques you can use to reuse otherwise 'waste' materials. No prior sewing experience is required.

Ella Doran Design Ltd. is an interior and textile design practice in Hackney.

Yodomo is a social venture working to reduce textile waste emanating from the interior design industry through the redistribution of 'waste' materials to its maker community.

There are 16 places available in half-hour slots. Participants will come away with their own cushion cover and learn more about reusing materials if they want to continue making at home.

Slots will run all day from 11 am til 4 pm. Please select your slot time when booking tickets on Eventbrite Here.

I used to roam around my dad’s wood workshop in West Yorkshire, terrorising his colleagues and making wooden sculptures. I’d accompany him to the demolition sites of the old mills of Manchester and Leeds that were being pulled down; everything within the mills was meant to be burnt, however, he’d salvage wood, bobbins, and cast iron objects and use the materials to make floors and furniture out of the reclaimed timber and other items. The idea that you could make something out of nothing interested me.

I work with developers, designers, and other creatives to create stand-out visual identities, websites, and marketing.
