Cut, Paste, Create! Museum Zine Workshop

Join us in the Hunterian Museum to explore some of the fascinating stories behind the objects on display, and have a go at making your own zine inspired by what you see!

Together, we’ll ask questions like: What stories does this object tell? What and who is missing? And how might these objects come to life in a book?

Then it’s your turn to get creative. Using collage, text and images, you’ll create your own zine (a mini DIY publication) inspired by the objects and the stories you want to tell. There’s no right or wrong way to make a zine: you can write, draw, collage, cut and paste – we'll have plenty of materials and inspiration to support.

This session is open to anyone aged 12–16. No experience needed, just bring your curiosity! All materials provided.

This event has been developed in collaboration with postgraduate students from the MEd in Children’s Literature and Literacies at the University of Glasgow. How are stories shaped through different media? How do ideas of literacy extend beyond reading and writing? These are some of the questions they have been looking at through their course. They share an interest in developing diverse literacies and exploring storytelling for children and young people, and see museums as spaces that lend themselves to exciting ways of reading.

The Hunterian Museum is located in the main Gilbert Scott building at the University of Glasgow.
