Last week, we packed up our toolboxes and headed down to Kilkenny for the Rethink Your Stuff Carnival. The event was all about celebrating repair, reuse and creative sustainability – and we were delighted to be part of it with our own Repair Table.
It was a fun afternoon full of chats with visitors (many stopping by on their lunch break) and plenty of fixes. Among the items we brought back to life were:
- Fuses in extension leads (by the way, we’ve an upcoming plug wiring workshop – [link here])
- A pull-up banner
- Award trophies in need of some TLC
- Even scissors
- …and more!

One of the best parts of the day was sharing the space with so many other brilliant groups and makers. Big shout-out to VOICE Ireland, Ruth’s Design Studio, the Bunting Fairy, and all the other fantastic people who made the carnival such a vibrant, creative event.
