Repair Cafés are gatherings of community members who have repair skills and those who have things that need to be repaired. Every Café has a different cast of Repairers who examine and fix a variety of items FREE of charge. This fall we have Repairers who mend clothing, stuffed animals and other textiles, fix lamps and small appliances, and repair wooden items and mechanical clocks. We will also feature a caning demonstration.
Visitors can bring up to three (3) small, clean items and watch while each is being repaired. The Café is a popular event so expect a wait to see a Repairer and enjoy the opportunity to connect with your neighbors.
The Repairer will assess your item to see the nature of the repair needed. The Café is geared toward minor repairs, generally taking less than 20 minutes. (If the repair is more complex, you may be referred to outside resources.) Repairers will have some parts and materials available. A small reimbursement fee may be charged. If you know your item needs a particular part for the repair, bring it along. Watch your item being repaired, try your hand at caning a chair, or relax in the visitors’ lounge while you wait.
For full details on the Repair Café, including a list of the types of items that can be repaired and those you should not bring, visit the website RepairCafeNBPT.org
The Time Trade Network of Greater Newburyport and the City of Newburyport’s Toward Zero Waste initiative co-sponsor this event.
