REPAIR CAFÉ
Bringing together people who have
broken stuff, with people who know
how to fix it.
WANT TO SAVE THAT GADGET, garment, tool, or toy from going
to the landfill? Repair Café is a new project in Astoria creating
community around skill-sharing, repair, and diverting waste. Yes
folks, your love for something not quiet new might have that
chance for a new lease on life.
This unusually functional monthly event is bringing fixers
together with stuff that probably still works, just needs a little TLC.
Last month’s RC featured; general repairs for toys, tools, & furni-
ture, knife and scissor sharpening, garment mending, computer
diagnostics and a featured Bike Workshop by Bike Envy–on flats
and diagnosis of common issues.
It can be very satisfying to fix something yourself, and double
delightful that you don’t have to throw it into the landfill. How
much more stuff do we need?????
The next Repair Café is scheduled for WED., JUNE 28, 6 –
8PM. Are you a handy gadgeteer, or need help affixing that leg
to a chair you love? Check out REPAIR ASTORIA on facebook for
more info and witness the magic of all-things-fixable! Event loca-
tion is 34706 Production Lane, Astoria.
