Repair Café
Thursday, January 15
7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
FREE – Registration Required
Kwartzlab – 145 Bedford Rd. Kitchener (2nd floor)
This local Repair Café is run by KwartzLab in partnership with 4RepairKW. Bring in your broken items and get them fixed with their volunteers. Typical repairs include, small household appliances, yard tools, housewares, umbrellas, gadgets, backpacks, bags, purses, and clothing. If you don’t have anything in need of repair… don’t despair, we are happy to have you come and see the repairs in action.
You can be a part of creating the new Public Art Installation at the Mill-Courtland Community Centre. Artists Agnes Niewiadomski and Michelle Purchase were selected to create Swoop, a murmur of hand-woven swallows to fill the space above the lobby in the newly renovated Mill Courtland Community Centre. The individual birds will be woven by community members at a series of free workshops. The willow will be locally harvested and some of the birds will be dyed with natural pigments from walnut and acorn.
We will be using sharp tools and weaving the willow will require a fair amount of hand strength. Everyone who makes a swallow will be recognized in the final artwork. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to contribute to a permanent collaborative artwork in your community. Sign up for one of the free willow weaving workshops today!
