The Zine Project

What is The Zine Project?

An intergenerational community arts project exploring the history of youth culture in Telford.

We are inspired by the culturally significant Guttersnipe Fanzine published in Telford between 1978-80. We will connect with local young people, and older adults, to create our own zines and writing about the experience of youth through online, drop-in and community group workshops. The project will culminate in a community art installation consisting of writing for performance, graphic art, and the zines we make along the way. 

❋ Brilliant Brains

Our hosts translate complex topics into plain language you can brag about later.

❋ All-Day Fuel

Think local fruit, reckless amounts of espresso, and lunches that refuse to be boring.

❋  Workshop Kits

Sharpies, canvas boards, Lego bricks—yes, grown-ups get blocks too.

❋ Tech Concierge

Need a 4K projector or just a spare charger? It’s already waiting.

Plenty of camps teach skills; we rewired the camping stove.

  • Concepts hit the whiteboard, then the workbench, all before lunch.

  • Capped attendance guarantees every voice gets air time.

  • We treat missteps like lab data, not report card fodder.

  • Live streams run parallel to in-room action.

  • Complete tasks, collect micro-credentials you can flash on LinkedIn.
