Fix-It Clinics

Whether it’s cracked, torn, stained, missing a piece or just not working properly, broken things can be made good as new with the right skills and tools. WLSSD has partnered with Duluth Folk School and Duluth Makerspace to host regular events where people can learn how to fix their stuff. Volunteers specialize in a variety of repair skills, including electronics and small appliances, woodworking and furniture, watches and jewelry, clothing and upholstery, sports and outdoor gear, ceramics, artwork and more.

People can sign up in advance to be paired with a skilled volunteer or volunteer their skills to help fix other folks’ stuff. Fix-it clinics will be held on the second Saturday of alternating months (January 11, March 8, May 10, July 12, September 13, and November 8). Full details here.
