We had to close the workshop because of the pandemic. Remember how at first we thought it would be just for a few weeks or months at the most? Hahaha.
The building we occupied is sold, there is no longer a physical workshop space. We still promote a mending lifestyle on IG @RemadeInBrooklyn. Any thoughts or questions please DM there.
We are deeply grateful to our wonderful community for 3 happy years. It was life-changing.
Keep spreading Love, it’s the Brooklyn way!

What does Right to Repair do?
Right to Repair is simple. It requires manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair businesses with fair access to service information and affordable replacement parts. So you can fix the stuff you own quickly—and get back on with your life.
That sounds great! Who would be against that?
Well, manufacturers like John Deere and Apple don’t like the idea. When your tractor breaks or your cell phone stops working, they want to be the only people who can fix it. And they get to set whatever prices they want for parts and service.
Is Right to Repair a new concept?
Nope! We already have right to repair for cars—that’s why you can take your Ford into a local mechanic. They have all the same software diagnostics and service manuals that the dealerships have. This is the result of decades of auto Right to Repair legislation—laws that have been a resounding success.
