    Mending Drop-in + Repair Cafe

    3rd Thursday of Every Month 7-10pm

    Join us on the Third Thursday of the Month, from 7-10 pm during the kwartzlab Repair Cafe. It’s FREE! It’s social! It’s ~analog~. It’s what’s up.

    Our familiar, casual format remains: all skill levels are welcome, bring your mending project, and you can work independently and enjoy some mendfriend time, or get support if there’s something you aren’t sure how to fix.

  • 3D model of a small rectangular cooler with a white lid, four circular holes on top, and vertical ridges on blue sides.

    Intro to 3D Printing Class

    Our printers are warmed up and waiting… In this class, you’ll learn the basics of turning a digital file into something you can hold, move, and brag about. Open to members and the public.

    Spots are limited—bring your curiosity (and your laptop).

    Two class session, 7 to 9 pm January 22 and 29
