About this Event
Join this enjoyable and inclusive workshop to create a mini zine all about YOU!
This event is part of the 2025 DesignTO Festival.
Whether you're an artist, writer, designer, astronaut, or simply eager to share your story, you'll receive guidance to design a zine that showcases your personality, in an environment that encourages self-expression without judgment or the need for perfection—just a chance to unleash your creativity.
You'll discover how to combine text, images, and your unique style to produce a personal, rule-free zine that celebrates your identity.
No experience is required—just bring your creativity, curiosity, some drawing supplies or magazines for cutouts, and yourself!
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
- drawing supplies like markers, pens, pencils, colours, crayons
- old magazines
- glue
- scissors
DO I HAVE TO BE AN ARTIST OR A CREATIVE TO ATTEND?
Definitely not! We welcome individuals to come with curiosity, regardless of their background, profession, or artistic skill. These experiences are specifically designed for people to arrive with an open heart in a space that fosters a sense of safety for trying new things!
