Featured event
Make a Zine!
This is a paid class that requires registration—sign up here!
Get your ideas onto the page and finally MAKE THAT ZINE!
Zines are small books, usually made out of a single sheet of paper, that anyone can make! In this all-ages workshop, join us to develop your zine from start to finish. Learn different ways to fold the same piece of paper to acquire different zine formats. Each month we'll focus on a different topic so you can keep coming back to make more!
The cost of the class includes 10 copies of your zine printed on your choice of Risograph colors or on our laserjet printer.
- August, December: Fanzines
- September: Collage
