Handmade Zines

A small stack of black-and-white zines or booklets, with the top cover reading “Let’s Make Kumihimo,” photographed on a light surface.

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.

Love Letters

Every so often I write a letter to my favorite curious people—new experiments, what’s working, what spectacularly isn’t, and first dibs on workshop dates. And yes, I mean a real letter: paper, envelope, your actual mailbox. No firehose, no spam, just the good stuff—handmade and slow, on purpose.

Can be your first name, a nickname, “hey you”…
Enter it exactly as it should appear on the envelope to get to you, including your name and country.
Optional, if you want the ability to update this information later.

Your address stays with me—never sold, never shared, just used to send you letters. Stop anytime, no hard feelings. Privacy
