Baltic Shop Creates: Relaxed Zine Making with Sofia Barton

Join artist Sofia Barton to explore the physical sensations of climate change. Reflect on your mind-body connection through the art of zine-making.

This workshop provides a space to map your personal responses to climate anxiety, using visual art, storytelling, and sensory exploration. We'll delve into how environmental concerns manifest in our bodies and discover tangible ways to foster resilience.

Using simple materials and guided prompts, we’ll craft a unique zine that acts as a personal guide, a tool for grounding, and a form of self-expression. Whether you're navigating sensory sensitivities, seeking emotional clarity, or simply drawn to creative exploration, this session invites you to connect with your inner world and the wider environment

Sofia Barton is a multidisciplinary artist based in the North East, whose work serves as a vibrant bridge between her Punjabi heritage and her Newcastle roots. Deeply influenced by the "hidden histories" of the region, Sofia uses her art to champion social justice, gender equality and the diverse identities that shape our landscape.

We want our events to be inclusive and accessible. If you have any accessibility requests or questions, please email [email protected]. Ahead of your visit, you can find out about Baltic’s facilities and accessibility here.
