Bring along a broken item of costume jewellery and with the help of volunteers from the Repair Cafe Sydney North, we'll repair it together at the pop-up jewellery repair cafe!

You'll have the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge to make simple repairs yourself whilst being guided through the process. Please note that not all items may be able to be fixed. It's an ongoing learning process.

The work carried out in the Repair Café is performed on a voluntary basis by the repair experts at hand. Visitors carry out the repairs themselves whenever possible, but repair experts on site can help if necessary.

The fact that the repairs are being performed by unpaid volunteers reflects the allocation of risks and limitation of liability: neither the organisers of the Repair Café nor the repair experts are liable for any loss that may result from advice or instructions concerning repairs, for the loss of items handed over for repair, for indirect or consequential loss or for any other kind of loss resulting from work performed in the Repair Café. The limitations set forth in these house rules shall not apply to claims declared justified on the basis of liability arising by virtue of applicable consumer protection legislation which cannot be lawfully superseded.

Any use of new materials such as findings, silk thread, jump rings etc will be paid for separately.

Visitors offering broken items for repair do so at their own risk.

Experts making repairs offer no guarantee for the repairs carried out with their help and are not liable if objects that are repaired in the Repair Café turn out not to work properly at home.

Repair experts are entitled to refuse to repair certain objects.

Bridget Kennedy, artist in residence at 53 Ridge Street, is a founding volunteer at the Repair Cafe Sydney North, held on the 1st & 2nd Sundays of each month where items such as clothing, jewellery, furniture, shoes & small appliances are repaired for free and kept out of landfill with the help of volunteers.
