Do you have a story to tell, information to share, or art/poems to display? Join this Zine-Making and Bookbinding Workshop, no experience is required! Zines are a great way of sharing your ideas with your community, and we’ll work together to craft your zine!

This class will focus on creating a zine out of your idea, covering how to make zines and bind small books. We’ll learn how to make 3 styles of zines. and 2 bookbinding styles. You can decide what matches your project best and by the end of class, you’ll have a finished zine, several blank zines and small books, and knowledge of how to produce more copies!
