Watch & Listen

Animations to Watch:

Pupils from Primary Schools in Helston made these animated stop-motion films, as part of ‘Helston Makes It!’, with the help of artist Amanda Lorens. Watch the films and create your own animated characters. 

Craft Demonstrations to Watch:

Each year our volunteers create a programme, ‘Helston Makes It’ to celebrate craft and makers. In these films some of the makers share their knowledge and skills.

Our collections pages feature a range of films exploring areas of the collection. Here are a few highlights:

  • Learn about Helston’s famous inventor, Henry Trengrouse
