Auckland Library of Tools in collaboration with Repair Cafe Aotearoa are excited to bring you the next in a series of repair and maintenance workshops every first Thursday of the month at Hackland Makerspace, just behind ALoT!

Thursday September 5 will be a free hands-on knife sharpening workshop! So gather up your dull knives and come on by to sharpen your skills and your knives with us.

Swap knowledge, tips and tricks, stories, and elbow grease with your neighbour and improve your skills, while extending the cutting lives of your knives. Bring appropriate tools if you have them, or use the tools available in house. There will be nibbles and tea on hand, but contributions of food and beverage are very welcome. The vibe is relaxed, and social. Teens are welcome to participate, with an accompanying adult. We also have a play area for kids and there will be a couple of toddlers around as playmates!

RSVP appreciated. There will be a brief introduction and meet and greet at 6pm followed by a knife sharpening demonstration. Then our sharpener will assist guests with the sharpening of their own knives. Going to be late? No problem! Late-comers welcome.

Getting here:
Bus stops on Ponsonby Rd (InnerLink, 20, 105, 106, 866), Great North Rd (11T/W, 18, 20, 195), and Karangahape Rd (WX1)
We are also near the northwestern cycleway.
Limited free parking is available next door or on side streets. There is no parking in front of ALoT/Hackland.

These workshops are part of the Repair & Share project, a weekly repair cafe hosted by ALoT, RCANZ, and Hackland and supported by Auckland Council.

We’re thrilled to share the amazing review of "Icky," coming to TAPAC from September 19 - 21 as part of Auckland's Fringe Festival! 🌟

Here’s what Erin Harrington says about this compelling dramedy:
"Icky is young, Samoan, queer, fat, gentle, sharp, anxious, and really, really funny – and he’s also avoiding something big. Comic stories and vignettes about family, university, queerness, identity, good and bad friends, good and bad parents, terrible tattoos and growing up are all written and delivered with the well-paced patter of self-deprecating stand-up."

✨ Dates: September 19 - 21
📍 Location: TAPAC (The Auckland Performing Arts Centre)
🎟️ Tickets: www.iticket.co.nz...

Grab your tickets today and see why "Icky" is the must-see performance of the Fringe Festival!
