Repair Cafés are a grassroots movement that aims to reduce waste and overconsumption by bringing people together to fix what is broken, share practical skills, and build community through repair.
This workshop is part of Galway City Council’s Circular City Galway initiative, which promotes a circular economy where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. The project is funded by the Department of Climate, Environment and Communications Anti-Dumping Initiative.
The workshop is facilitated by Eimear Greaney of Upsew (www.upsew.ie), who will demonstrate simple repairs — from threading a needle to darning denim. Attendees will sew buttons, fix seams, mend rips and sew zips. All materials provided.
Admission is free, but places are limited. To book your place, contact environment@galwaycity.ie
