Zero Waste Free Workshops

While workshops are offered at no cost, they are subject to first-come, first-serve availability. Workshop registration will be in person on the day of the event at the Zero Waste booth.

Zero Waste Yukon
Zero Waste Yukon is hosting a clothing swap! Bring clothing you no longer need or wear and swap it out for something new-to-you! The rules are: 1. All clothing donations MUST be freshly washed. 2. You do not need to donate to take clothing. 3. All clothing is free! Leftover clothing will go to Raven ReCentre. Clothing will then either be sorted into our Reuseful Thrift Store, or will be bailed and sent south to Trans-Continental Textile Recycling for recycling.

 

Leslie Leong, Block Printing on Clothing

Dig out your old clothes, t-shirts, jackets, pants, skirts, or even the kitchen towel and learn how to make them new again! Using leftover house paint, local artist Leslie Leong will teach people how to print on cloth, using lino blocks to print their old clothes. Add some pizzazz and learn to love your clothes once again!
Note: smoother cloth items work best

 

Yukonstruct Repair Cafe
Have a broken toaster that needs some TLC? Or maybe your favourite pair of jeans need a patch? Bring it over to Yukonstruct’s Repair booth! They’ll be hosting a mini Repair Cafe where volunteers will provide advice and help people repair their own broken items, or those that could use some maintenance and TLC. The volunteers can demonstrate and help troubleshoot and repair small electrical appliances (like toasters, blenders, rice cookers, head phones, radios, etc). And will have a small sewing machine on hand to show how minor fabric repairs or improvements can be made on clothes, boots, etc. In the event you can’t make it to the Indoor Garage Sale, you can come to the full scale “Repair Cafe” which is held on the last Thursday of each month (6-9PM) in the MakeSpace at Northlight Innovation centre (2180 – 2nd Ave).
