The Governor Wentworth Arts Council (GWAC) and Makers Mill, two local organizations with a shared mission of fostering creativity, are collaborating on the third Upcycled Fashion Show: an event that celebrates ingenuity, environmental awareness, and community spirit. Upcycling takes worn or used materials, clothes, or objects and transforms the old into something new, and typically, more valuable. The Upcycled Fashion Show encourages participants to create upcycled fashion designs crafted from recycled or repurposed materials, either in teams or individually.

What is a Repair Cafe? It’s a community-based initiative that aims to promote sustainability by repairing items instead of throwing them away, reducing waste, and promoting a circular economy. It is part of a larger movement of Repair Cafes around the world, which began in the Netherlands in 2009 and has since spread to more than 50 countries.

Attendees can bring in their broken items, such as clothing, electronics, small appliances, bicycles, and furniture, and skilled volunteers will be on hand to provide free repair services and advice. Volunteers may also teach attendees how to repair their items independently in the future, thereby taking a more active role in reducing waste and increasing the longevity of their belongings. The Repair Cafe will be a regular monthly event held on the last Sunday of each month between 1-4 pm. Attendees are encouraged to bring any tools, materials, or parts that may be necessary for their repairs. Personal tools should be marked or labeled so they won’t get mixed up with the makerspace tools. Photos may be useful too. Please note that some projects may be beyond the scope of our available resources.

The menu offers options for vegetarian and gluten-free diners and includes appetizer, entree, and dessert/coffee. Word has it that the build-your-own icecream sundaes are sensational!
