Furniture revamping workshop
Fancy getting a little crafty this weekend? Marianne, AKA The Revamp Tramp, is returning to The Rediscovery Centre in Ballymun for another furniture revamping workshop.
Marianne previously told Dublin Live: "I only take about ten people so I can give those in the class plenty of one on one time and help them with the piece of furniture they're upcycling. People bring their own pieces of furniture and I tell people who are coming to bring something that they can easily fire in the back of a car."
You can book a spot at the workshop here.
