Zine Making Workshop

A hands-on zine workshop: collaborate, create your own, and explore ideas together. No experience needed.

What’s a zine?

A zine is a small, self-made publication—raw, personal, and completely open to interpretation.

In this workshop, we’ll explore zine-making together through both collaboration and individual creation.

We’ll begin with a short icebreaker and group conversation to shape a shared theme. From there, participants will contribute to a collective zine, capturing a mood, idea, or feeling we build together.

You’ll also create your own personal zine using provided materials—completely yours, with no rules.

What you’ll do:

• Explore what a zine is and how it can be used as a creative tool
• Collaborate on a group zine
• Create your own personal zine
• Experiment with storytelling, visuals, and layout

What you’ll leave with:

• 1 personal zine
• A copy or documentation of the collective zine
• A new approach to expressing ideas through print

Who it’s for:

No experience needed. Open to anyone curious about making, storytelling, or exploring ideas in a physical format.

What to bring:

Just yourself. All basic materials will be provided.
