Green Ossining’s Repair Cafe is back! Saturday, August 26th 11a-3p. Rec Center/Lower Level.
What’s a Repair Cafe? Basically, community access to free repair get-togethers and skill sharing. We fell in love with the idea and are the first in Westchester County in a movement that has been growing globally.
Repair Cafes offer the opportunity for community-sourced repair of broken items reducing contributions to the waste stream and building a sense of community through skill sharing. The Green Ossining Repair Cafe currently expects to have coaches on-hand to provide free assistance with repairing/advising on a number of items listed below.
- Fabric Repair: seams, cuffs, hems, patches, buttons, pockets, etc
- Wood Repair
- Electrical Appliances
- Toys
- Tech Support for Computers & Mobile Devices
- Plants: Advice & How-Tos
- Antique Restoration
- Ceramic Repair
- Bikes (including tires)
- Kids Table: learning circuitry & how stuff works
- Costume Jewelry
Gasoline power tools cannot be used or repaired at the Cafe.
