Out of an abundance of caution and in conjunction with guidance from San Mateo County’s Health Officer in regard to public events and concerns around COVID-19, the City of Half Moon Bay is cancelling this event until further notice.

Fixit Clinic 562 (DLXII) Half Moon Bay Library

Following on the success of January’s Fabric and Textile event we’re holding a full-fledged Fixit Clinic for Earth Day: don’t miss it!

Building resilient communities through conveying basic troubleshooting skills and celebrating repair, Fixit Clinics are do-it-together hands-on fix-n-learn community-based exploration and discovery workshops staffed by volunteer Fixit Coaches who generously share their time, tools and expertise to consult with you on the disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair of items.

So bring your broken, non-functioning things — fabric and textile items, electronic gadgets, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, bicycles, etc.– for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. Fixit Coaches (and helpful neighbors) will be available for consultation on broken items: we’ll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. Whether you fix it or not, you’ll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked, ready to share your new-found confidence and insight with your friends, neighbors, and the community at large. (Hopefully you’ll be inspired to become a Fixit Coach yourself.)
