Festival: Helston Makes It!
A programme of events in September
Helston Makes It! is an annual celebration of craft, both traditional and contemporary. It brings together a wide range of highly skilled makers to demonstrate their skills, give talks and run workshops at the Museum of Cornish Life.
Most of us leading busy lives, and taking time out to learn a craft – or watching an expert maker at work – is both energising and relaxing. We’re at last appreciating practical skills that have been undervalued for so many years.
This year there is a link to the Withy Lore exhibition at the museum with many of the events during the week focussing on working with willow in all its forms.
Helston Makes It! runs from 20th – 27th September 2025. To find out more and get involved look on the Museum of Cornish Life website’s What’s On page or pop into the museum in September to pick up a programme.
