About

THE REPAIR ATELIER, an art/ design workshop that investigates and activates ideas of (adaptive) reuse. The Repair Atelier is imagined as a collaborative space (artists, designers, engineers, repairers and the community) to rethink and reuse discarded and broken objects, transform them and in the process 'repair' not just objects but also the communities that form around them.

THE REPAIR ATELIER, located in a former Chapel aims to animate these ideas in relation to our larger community through workshops, a gallery space, scheduled discussions and a Repair Café.  

Community workshops:

Free and family friendly workshops several times a year in which expert volunteers help the participating community to repair beloved broken items.

- Community workshops on creative repair (transformations of unwanted objects)

- Community workshops on traditional repair (the mending and fixing of broken objects)

Repair Events:

A place for Discussions, Presentations, Performances on various forms of repair, from material fabric, to dance and music, to expanded forms of repair such as repairing the mind, body, relationships, social fabric.
