Got something to say? Zines are the ultimate DIY medium for self-expression, creativity, and community connection. Whether you're into personal stories, art, poetry, activism, or pure weirdness, this monthly drop-in workshop is your space to create and share on your own terms. Come make zines that reflect your voice, your style, and your story. Start from scratch or bring a work-in-progress.
Zines are a powerful tool for self-expression, blending storytelling, art, and DIY publishing. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to design and reproduce your own mini-publications using collage, drawing, and layout techniques. Whether you're exploring personal narratives, social commentary, or creative play, zine-making builds confidence and offers a flexible outlet for bold, handmade expression.
