We’re on a mission to help each other keep

more stuff out of landfill

Bring along your broken items to Te Rua Makerspace

on Thursday 15th May and our talented volunteers will

be able to help perform repairs such as:

Darning, hand sewing and glueing

General clothing and textile repair

Jewellery repair

Shoe repair including glueing, stitching, sole fixing,

eyelet repair / replacement

Industrial sewing for more heavy duty items eg.

canvas or bags

Eye glasses repair

Iron on patches for clothing like denim and

waterproof jackets

Got something you can’t see on the list? Bring it along

and we’ll see what we can do (only catch is no

electronics sorry ).

Thinking this cause is something you care about? Then

we’d love to have your help! Sign up to be one of our

talented volunteers by just flicking us a message

== Hosted by University of Canterbury Repair Cafe ==

The University of Canterbury offers regular repair events for students and staff. The purpose of these events is to help our community reduce waste to landfill and create a community of people at UC interested and skilled in the art of repair.

The Repair Cafe events are hosted by Te Rua Makerspace, which is located in the UC Library, and are supported by the UC Sustainability Office and a team of volunteers.

We'd love to see you at one of our upcoming events!
