Get ready to roll up your sleeves and embrace the spirit of repair and upcycling at The Tinkerage with our "Mending is Riveting" workshop. Guided by none other than Rosie the Riveter herself, this workshop invites you to get involved with the art of repairing and creating with pop rivets.
Under Rosie's guidance, shape, reform, and connect salvaged pieces of aluminium, pewter, and mild steel. The possibilities are as vast as your imagination – from crafting a unique mobile to sculpting your own masterpiece.
This workshop is not just about learning a skill; it's about embracing a mindset of resourcefulness and reuse. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just starting on your journey, this workshop is an opportunity to hone your skills, fix things around your home, and breathe new life into forgotten treasures.
The Tinkerage is a reuse and repair space located inside Reviva Dunmore at Dunmore Recycling & Waste Disposal Depot. The Tinkerage and its workshops are made possible by the generous support of Shellharbour City Council and Resource Recovery Australia.
