SUMMARY:Mapping the Closet with SCAMP
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\nMapping the Closet with SCAMP  \nA Story Lab event by The Writers’ Block  \n6-8pm on 26th May  \nThis event takes place at: Trevow Chapel  \nTickets £5  \nWhat does it mean to play with identity to invent an alter ego or to enter a space in the shoes you’ve always longed to wear? \nHow do ideas like gender\, presentation\, or profession shape who we believe ourselves to be? And what happens when we begin to question\, stretch\, or reimagine those roles? \nJoin us at Trevow Chapel for this workshop led by drag artist Scamp\, inspired by what3words\, where we’ll explore identity as something living\, shifting\, and creative. Just as three simple words can locate a precise place in the world\, we’ll use language\, movement\, and imagination to map new dimensions of ourselves. \nThrough embodied exercises\, guided writing prompts\, and the wisdom of your own lived experience\, you’ll experiment with new ways of expressing yourself and relating to others. Bring the clothes you’ve always longed to wear\, that bold piece tucked away at the back of your closet\, the outfit that never quite found its moment. This is its moment. \nScamp is a designer/drag artist and puppet maker and shaker\, with a focus on site-specific\, queer and accessibility-led work. They are co-founder of Blooom Cornwall and Falmouth Queer club and host/run nights regularly with Kernow Drag Collective.

SUMMARY:Man Down Helston
DESCRIPTION:What is Man Down ??\nWe are here to help reduce the number of male suicides and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health by offering men the space to talk about their emotions. The main way we do this is by facilitating free-to-attend fortnightly informal talking group meetings held at locations all over the UK.\n\nWhat happens at Man Down Helston ??\nEvery two weeks on a Tuesday at 7pm we invite men to come along and talk about their mental health as part of a supportive talking group. By offering the chance to speak and listening to others\, together we break down the stigma associated with talking about our emotions. All attending agree to the sessions being a confidential\, non-judgemental and safe space to share. We also offer social meet ups and an online peer support group for those that have attended a face-to-face talking group meeting.

SUMMARY:Make a Dress Block
DESCRIPTION:The aim of the course is to come away with a well fitted dress block (a basic dress pattern with fitted bodice\, pencil skirt and fitted sleeve). Having your own block is so useful and essential for making new patterns at home. \nPlease note\, we will not be drafting the block from scratch\, we will be amending a block to fit you. We will start by taking measurements and amending the pattern where possible first. Then you will make a toile of the dress in calico to fit. You will have a couple of fittings\, as we refine the fit of the garment in stages. These fitting techniques can be applied to any dress/top pattern that you use in future!

From your block you can then make pattern design alterations\, such as adding pockets\, adding a waistband or waist facing\, seam lines etc at home.

This stimulating workshop will give you impetus and encouragement and would be suitable either as a jumping-off point or as an injection of energy into an ongoing project. All welcome. \nCathy Rentzenbrink is an amiable bookworm\, a writer of fiction and non-fiction who chairs literary events and speaks on life\, death\, love\, and literature. Unusually extravert for a writer\, she likes talking to strangers\, is a lover not a fighter\, and is determined to cling onto her faith in humanity. Twice divorced\, she lives in Cornwall with her son and cat. \nShe has been extremely keen on Agatha Christie since she was nine years old and her next book The Agatha Christie Cure will be out in September. She is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller The Last Act of Love\, which was also shortlisted for the Welcome Book Prize.
