Toaster Teardown: Fixperience Workshop

Date and time: Sat, 27 September 2025 13:30 - 17:30 UK Time

Location: Camden Fixing Factory, 179 Queens Cres, London, NW5 4DS

At this workshop you will learn the basic foundations of fixing electrical items, with a focus on pop-up toasters. By the end of the session you will have learnt the basics of safety when working with electrical items, disassembled and reassembled a pop-up toaster, understood its basic operations, gained tips on maintaining electrical items and conducted a basic repair.

The workshop is designed for those with little to no prior experience, so don’t worry if you’re new to this. Each session is small and friendly, with up to six people per workshop. So whether you come solo or with friends, you’re in for a relaxed, supportive environment. With one to two facilitators for each group, you’ll get plenty of one-on-one guidance as you learn the ropes.

We do not make a profit from Fixing Factories - all money raised is reinvested into running our sites, and helping to make repair the norm across the UK.
