SUMMARY:AFK Repair Café: Jewelry Repair 101 SESSION 1
DESCRIPTION:Join fixers from the Charlottesville TimeBank Repair Café for 
 an introductory repair café right here at the UVA Library\, in the 
 Scholars' Lab! \n\nYou should register for this event if you would like to 
 bring an item for repair. If you just want to drop in and observe\, you are 
 welcome--no need to register!\n\nWhat is a repair café\, you ask? Repair 
 cafés are collaborative events to fix your stuff\, saving them from the 
 landfill and practicing creative re-use. They're also part of a global 
 movement to build a more sustainable future by making it easier for anyone 
 to repair anything! More information here: repaircafe.org/en. \n\nThis 
 repair café will focus on basic jewelry repair. Volunteer fixers from the 
 Charlottesville TimeBank will help you learn how to replace clasps on 
 bracelets and necklaces\, and replace earwires on earrings. If you have a 
 broken bracelet\, necklage\, or earring you would like to bring and fix\, 
 you can! Indicate that on the registration form. (No gold/silver/precious 
 gems\, please.) This event will take place across two sessions\, at 4pm 
 (Session 1) and 5pm (Session 2). Register for the session that you 
 prefer.\n\nThis event is open to all. There will be snacks provided. Free 
 parking is available after 5pm in Culbreth Parking Garage. \n\nThis event 
 is generously supported by the UVA Arts Council. It is one of a series of 
 repair café events that will be held this academic year\, as part of the 
 Library's 2026-2027 arts initiative\, AFK: Away From Keyboard\, which urges 
 students\, the UVA community\, and Charlottesville to experiment with 
 creating intentional connections between body and mind. We want to know: 
 what happens to the way we perceive\, learn\, make\, and research when 
 we're AFK? How does using our hands to tinker\, create\, and repair deepen 
 and expand research? Less blue light\; more insight.
