Learn about the magic of making YOUR unique voice heard through ZINES! What is a zine? Pronounced ‘ZEEN’ like the end of ‘magazine,’ they are tiny booklets you can create your own stories in! We’ll go over the 8-page mini zine folding technique using only one sheet of paper. You’ll be self-publishing in no time with Orion’s help over the course of this 3-hour workshop for all ages, kids especially welcome! All supplies are provided, including simple printer paper, scissors, markers, stickers, scraps and more. Bring yourself and a friend to join the zine revolution! This month, the zine making workshop will focus on how zines can change the world around us in positive ways. You can use zines to start conversations about difficult topics, and help the world become a better, kinder place! Join us in the zine revolution! All materials are included besides 10 copies of your zine scanned and printed for you to trade and share.
