Our Events
August Repair Cafe
Saturday 15th August, 1:30pm – 4pm
Reyburn Art Studio, 28 Reyburn House Lane, Townbasin
At our monthly events volunteers donate their time to help you repair your items.
If you know the specific part needed to repair your item, we ask that you bring it along. Please ensure you bring all the parts (plugs etc) and clean out crumbs and empty water before bringing your items in.
We’re happy to help you learn how to repair. We are not repair professionals, Repair Cafes are a community self-repair space. Attending means that you take responsibility for your own item.
Repair skills available this month: Sewing, darning, general repair, kintsugi, woodworking, crochet/knitting, electrical (battery powered only), sharpening, basic sewing machine servicing, heavy duty sewing
