ABOUT THE PROJECT

I’m opening a zine shop in Newcastle as part of Renew Newcastle (google for their website). I would like to see Newcastle become a well known cultural hub at more times throughout the year than September’s This is Not Art festival. This shop is part of my vision.

I will have typewriters, cutting, drawing and printing stuff available for anyone to use in store and will be selling zines from as far afield as I can and building a zine and independent press library.

Regards,
Susy

    I have a printer you can have, I don’t have the starter disc for it though so you’d need to download a driver or something to get it to work on a computer. I don’t really know that sort of stuff, LOL.

    I think I might have some spray cans you can have too.

    I also have a desk I need to get rid of, lol, do you want that too? You’d have to pick up the desk though.

    Email me a mailing address to send the printer to, and I’ll get on it.

    Hi Susy,

    This sounds fantastic! What’s your time frame? I’m currently in the UK but live in Newcastle and I’d love to help if I can.

    Cheers
