Repair Cafe: If it’s broke, don’t fix it! (arts and heritage repair)

Member Events Public Events

Artists from the Slade School of Fine Art, and heritage conservators from the Institute of Archaeology, will provide alternative solutions to fixing your broken things. Come along for inspiration to create new objects from things that are broken, not just mending but making art and heritage objects.

No experience or skill necessary, all welcome!

Bring along a broken thing for consultation, damaged objects in need of recreation will be available for you to practice.
