About this Event

Join designer, illustrator, and visual artist Lydia Thornley for a hands-on workshop where you’ll create your own mini zine capturing a slice of everyday life in 2025, ready to be sealed into the Alice Billing House Time Capsule for readers 80 years from now.

Workshop Focus: What does an ordinary day look like, and how might it speak to someone in the future? In this zine-making session, you’ll reflect on your daily experiences and turn them into a simple illustrated story using just one sheet of paper.

What to Expect: – A warm-up drawing exercise: tell your journey to the workshop in three frames – A demo on how to fold and design a one-page mini zine – Break your day into six key moments – Plan your front and back covers – Explore options for the fold-out centre spread – Draft, sketch, and complete your zine for the Time Capsule

Who It’s For: Some experience with drawing or illustration is helpful, but beginners are warmly welcomed. The session is open to all adults with an interest in visual storytelling.

What to Bring: – Your creativity and curiosity – Clothes you don’t mind getting marked – A phone/camera if you’d like to photograph your work before submitting it

Note: All final pieces will be kept as part of the Time Capsule. You’ll have time to document your work before it’s sealed for future generations.
