Zine Making Workshop – What ‘are your’ Three Words?

With artist Karen Howse
Supported by Trevow Helston and The Writers Block (11+)
1pm-3.30pm  Friday 29 May

Book Here (FREE)

Ever wanted to make your own mini magazine? In this hands-on workshop, artist Karen Howse will show you how to create a zine — a DIY publication you design yourself, from scratch, in an afternoon.

Cut, stick, stamp, draw, collage, and even type on a real typewriter. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to make a mess.

As part of What(areyour)3Words, you’ll also explore the art of erasure poetry — hunting through existing text to find hidden words and stories. What three words will you uncover today?

Perfect for ages 11+

What do I need to know?

  The Basement isn’t just another youth centre – it’s the space you asked for, designed by you, built for you. The space is primarily for 13-18 year olds. Your basement. Your rules. Your future starts here.

  The Basement is in Trengrouse Way pay and display car park.

  We have level, step-free access from the car park into the building as well as accessible toilets. If you have additional access needs please contact us on jonathan@lovehelston.co.uk or drop in.

• Where is The Basement?
  We are in the basement of Helston Gateway (the former Budgens supermarket building) next to The Parade and in Trengrouse Way car park.

• Where can I find out more about The Basement?
  On our website at www.lovehelston.co.uk or by contacting Jonathan at jonathan@lovehelston.co.uk

• Will you be taking photos and video?
  We often take photos so let everyone you’re booking tickets for know this. These photos, films and recordings may be used at any time in print and online for evaluation, promotion or in connection with other projects. If you would prefer to not be in photos please let staff at The Basement know.
