Skillshare: Repair Cafe @ Side Street
Repair Café was a free Saturday morning event in Pasadena and Altadena that linked local handy people to folks in need of repairs of all kinds: clothing, appliances, electronics, bikes, jewelry, furniture. The Repair Café was inspired by the philosophy of a Sharing Economy. We shared our time, skills and talents to build a more vibrant local community, one repair at a time.
