OUR STORY
THE SML WAY
At the Sustainable Makers of London workshop, we want to help people make and create.
We’ve got great infrastructure, great knowledge and great people. With all the pressures on the environment and society, we believe making time for creativity is a vital part of the human condition.
We want creativity to be a sustainable practice. That means thinking sustainably about our methodologies, the materials we use and the resources we rely on.
We run various classes, from Medieval tile making to 4 week throwing courses. Find out more below:
