Don't Fear The Repair is a series of recurring collaborative walk-in repair workshops, in which members of the public are invited to bring broken items from around the house of almost any sort for repair.
They are invited to sit next to repair volunteers, and assist and learn about the process, in the hopes of developing both the skills and the spirit of repair in the community. Don’t Fear the Repair is both a bad pun, and a free repair workshop. Yes we call ourselves the Green Oyster Cult. At the workshop, we have volunteers skilled in repairing various types of items who will sit with you to diagnose and hopefully repair your items. We’ll try to fix most things as long as they are portable, and don’t already have a reliable repair business ecosystem. We won’t repair large appliances, motor vehicles, or medical/safety devices. First come, first served.
The event is meant to educate the public in the practice of repair, promote the idea of a circular economy, and save some items from landfills.
