FixIt Clinic: Jewelry

Just in time for the Valentine’s Day, your favorite bracelet, necklace, or set of earrings that is a little worse for the wear can get a second lease on life! Bring your broken jewelry to the Fixit Clinic at Recycled Reads where volunteer coaches with jewelry repair know-how will be available to help you fix your item.

Fixit Clinics are all about do-it-together hands-on disassembly, troubleshooting and repair knowledge. Fixit Clinic attendees are expected to be active participants in trying to fix their items with guidance from our coaches. Attendees should plan to stay with their items. Dropping off of items for repair will not be permitted.

All ages are welcome, but children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

What to bring: Your broken stuff and a desire to learn how to fix it! If you have the missing earring back, the jewel that came undone, etc. please bring it with you. Sewing machines and hand tools will be available for you to use, but you can also bring your own machines and tools if you prefer.
