The Stitch and Spoon Social: Cooking & Repair Workshop with a Shared Meal

Every Wednesday from October 29
📍 Arts Admin, 28 Commercial St, London E1 6AB

The Stitch and Spoon Social is a weekly gathering that celebrates creativity, connection, and care. Each session brings people together through making, mending, and sharing food.

Whether you’re patching up a beloved piece of clothing or learning to cook authentic Bengali dishes, this is a warm, welcoming space to meet new people, learn new skills, and enjoy good company over a shared meal.

Choose between two workshops; Repair and Sewing or Cooking, then join everyone for dinner at the end of the evening.

Bring your clothes and accessories that need some care. Learn how to mend, patch, and personalise them with help from our friendly team.
You’ll pick up practical repair techniques, revive your favourite items, and leave with the satisfaction of having given something new life.
Includes a shared meal after the session.

Join Oitijjo Kitchen’s Head Chef for a hands-on Bengali cooking class. Discover traditional recipes, learn key spices and techniques, and prepare delicious dishes that everyone will enjoy together at the end of the evening.
Includes all ingredients, materials, printed recipe sheets, and a shared meal.
