Zines for Everyone: A Hands-On Intro to Zine-Making (March)

$75.00

Instructed by Melissa Dettloff

Saturday, March 14, 12-3pm

Class Size: Maximum 10

Learn how to turn your thoughts, stories, art, or activism into a self-published mini-magazine in this hands-on zine-making workshop. Whether you’re new to zines or already love them, this workshop is all about creativity, community, and DIY expression.

We'll look at a diverse collection of zines and explore their rich history, from punk to protest to personal storytelling, and guide you through the process of planning, designing, printing, and assembling your own zine using simple materials and various formats and binding options. Expect a relaxed, welcoming space with supplies provided, creative prompts to get you started, and time to cut, collage, draw, and create. We’ll print a handful of zines in the workshop with a desktop printer, and we’ll end the workshop with a zine trade so everyone goes home with a collection of zines.

Come make something weird, personal, radical, beautiful – something that’s 100% yours.
