Description

Wobbly chairs and wonky side tables. Rickety stools and roughly-made shelves. If you've got a piece of broken timber furniture that needs a bit of TLC, our skilled repairers are here to help. Bring your small furniture item along to the Furniture Repair Cafe to receive advice and assistance to bring your broken item back to life. No experience necessary.

This repair cafe is part of the Oatley Remakery & Sustainability Hub program, funded by the NSW Government and run by The Bower Reuse & Repair Centre, with support from Georges River Council.

The Bower Repair Cafés are free meeting places to learn the art of repair in a collaborative setting and about moving away from a throw-away culture to foster creativity and re-use.

This is a Covid-safe event. ALL ADULTS MUST WEAR A FACE MASK and check-in upon arrival.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

The Bower Teaching Workshop at Summer Hill is a practical, hands-on learning space where people can build the skills to repair, reuse and maintain the things they already own.

Located within the Inner West Sustainability Hub, the workshop offers community classes in areas such as carpentry, furniture repair, home DIY, bike maintenance, basic plumbing, welding, upholstery and creative reuse. Each class is led by experienced facilitators and designed to give participants the confidence to use tools, understand materials and complete practical repair or making projects.

The workshop is central to The Bower’s mission to demonstrate the circular economy in action. We use reclaimed materials wherever possible, teach people how to extend the life of household goods, and show that many items can be repaired, adapted or repurposed rather than thrown away.

Alongside our retail stores, repair services and House to Home program, the Summer Hill Teaching Workshop helps turn environmental values into everyday skills. Every person who takes part is helping build a community that wastes less, shares knowledge and keeps useful materials in circulation for longer.

When you take part in a workshop, you’re actively supporting our mission to create a more sustainable and equitable future.
