Dive into the creative, DIY world of zine-making in this expressive, hands-on workshop. You’ll learn how to plan, design, and assemble your own mini-publication using simple tools and approachable techniques. We’ll explore layout ideas, lettering, collage, illustration, and ways to reproduce your zine for sharing or trading. Whether you want to tell a story, teach a skill, document a moment, or make something purely whimsical, this class gives you the structure and freedom to bring your ideas to life. You’ll leave with at least one finished zine and the confidence to keep creating your own tiny books.
