We provide sliding scale, free tickets for volunteers, and other low cost opportunities because of our values.

Thus, you will see a variety of ticket prices for the same event and we encourage you to pay what you can.Proceeds from tickets go directly to paying our wonderful instructors, providing materials for the class, and continuing to host events and workshops like this one!*If you are a current Repair PDX volunteer wanting to join the class or someone needing an accessible ticket when there are none left, please email education@repairpdx.org. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/learn-to-darn-august/100001993498385334 - **Event Categories**: workshops, nonprofit, volunteering - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-08-29T16:40:00Z - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: Leaven Community Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 12.51, max: 55.2, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Leaven Community Center - **lat**: 45.5623417 - **long**: -122.6451262 - **full address**: Leaven Community Center, 5431 Northeast 20th Avenue, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Learn to Darn! - August - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/45eaf2e3e36112164272156685df9ef88508177fa0e538e51af5dd3f81bb0874-rimg-w805-h620-dcc27478-gmir.jpg?v=1783779323 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Learn to Darn! - August being held? - **A:** Learn to Darn! - August takes place on Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 12:30 pm at Leaven Community Center, 5431 Northeast 20th Avenue, Portland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Learn to Darn! - August? - **A:** Learn to Darn! - August is organized by Repair PDX. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
