Recent reviews of Type-writers Zine Club
- 5/5 from Saira Tariq, attended May 2025: My son had a fantastic time at this typewriter class! The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and wonderfully inclusive—especially thoughtful toward neurodivergent individuals, which we really appreciated. He had the opportunity to try out a variety of typewriter models, each with its own unique style and mechanism. It was such a joy to see him explore the tactile feel of different machines and get inspired by this hands-on experience. Whether you’re nurturing a young writer, a vintage tech enthusiast, or simply looking for a creative activity, this class is a perfect blend of fun and learning. Highly recommended!

Creating space to connect; We create analogue art experiences that invite people to unplug create, and connect. Using tactile materials, intuitive collaging, and, our special sauce - the satisfying clickety-clack of typewriters. Our touring art workshop is all about slowing down, getting hands-on, and making space for creativity and irl human connection.Cutting, layering, typing, and experimenting in ways that feel playful and accessible to everyone is what we love to facilitate.We used to be at one static location but decided to go back to our roots and take the workshops on tour! - As we travel from place to place, the workshop has become a welcoming creative space where community forms through the simple act of making together, passing around materials, swapping stories, and encouraging each other’s work. At Creative Lab It’s really not about polished outcomes or elite artistic skill, but about presence, expression, and the joy of creating something meaningful by hand, connecting with others and enjoying the sense of well-being that comes from all that in-person, analogue, arty goodness.
