FIX-IT CLE REPAIR WORKSHOPS
Mend. Sew. Build.
Circular Cleveland, think[box] at Case and Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District in partnership with Oh Sew Powerful, Inc. have developed a workshop to help people repair instead of replace.
Attendees will learn to fix everyday objects with the help of experienced coaches, helping to reduce waste and save money. At this time, workshops are held twice a month. Registration is required for people requesting help with repairs, and coaches are needed for upcoming workshops.
The workshop is designed for people to bring an item and learn how to repair it. General demonstrations will not be given.
Bike repair will be available on certain dates and is noted below.
Special Saturdays: Fix-It CLE Repair Workshops may be held seasonally on Special Saturdays at the Solid Waste District or other designated sites.
Fourth Mondays: A Fix-It CLE Repair Workshop is held monthly on Fourth Mondays at Sears think[box], Case Western Reserve University.
