Redistro is a mutual aid collective dedicated to building community locally through the redistribution of our shared abundance. Their community members envisioned a series of focused workshops building on the very popular repair fairs that have been held from time to time in Franklin County. What if people could not only have their household items repaired, but learn how to do it themselves? This vision is actualized in THE RENEWAL SOCIETY project, which focuses on re-using and reclaiming through the art and craft of repair. Participants will learn specific skills to extend the life of their own household belongings.
August 29: Leather, with Rhys
Got a leather item that could use a little TLC? Join Redistro organizer Rhys for a hands-on workshop about how to care for, maintain, and repair leather goods. The workshop will run about 2 hours.
Bring a leather item* if you have one, and/or something to take notes with. Come curious, and leave with a few new tricks for keeping your leather goods in good shape!
*This workshop is for educational purposes. Rhys will do their best to help you assess and work on your leather item, but we can’t guarantee that it will be fully repaired by the end of the workshop.
Let us know you’re coming by signing up for a slot here. Doors open at 9:15, and the workshop starts at 9:30. Please arrive early enough that we can get started on time. See you then!
