New Wave Creatives - Collaborative zine making 3

New Wave Creatives are back for their third collaborative zine making workshop on Thursday 5 November, held at Jelly on the first floor of the Broad Street Mall. It's a free entry session that starts at 17:30, and the whole thing is run by Jelly, the Reading-based charity that's been championing the creative arts across the town since 1993.

New Wave Creatives is set up as a supportive hub for emerging artists and creatives aged 18 to 28. It's a space to experiment, collaborate and grow, and it doesn't matter where you're coming from: you might be studying the arts, a recent graduate, or completely self-taught. The monthly meet-up is the regular gathering point for that community, and this particular session is the third in the series of collaborative zine making workshops.

On the night, you'll get mentoring support from Jelly and the chance to work on a collaborative zine project. The group welcomes newcomers, so you don't need to have been to the previous workshops to jump in, and they offer access support if you need it. It's as much about the people you meet as the zine you end up making.

Jelly has played a strategic role in Reading's cultural life for over three decades, with a track record of getting art into unexpected places and creating opportunities for people to look on and join in. This workshop fits right into that — it's about getting a group of young creatives together to make something together. The session is free, but you'll need to book your ticket through Eventbrite. It runs from 17:30 on Thursday 5 November at Jelly, first floor, 115-116 Broad Street Mall, RG1 7QE.
