About The Event
Join us at the Community Arts Center to learn about why we make zines! After opening with a brief presentation on zine making and its cultural influences, attendees are encouraged to make a zine of their own, following the prompt, “Why do I want to make a zine?” This workshop is for all ages and skill levels; makers have the choice to fill their zine(s) with written words, drawings, and/or collage.
All experience levels are welcome. Supplies are included.
