Out of Office, Into Print

A relaxed, hands-on zine-making session inviting attendees to experiment with print, collage and storytelling. Here, people will be taking print apart and putting it back together their way. It’s all about finding your page and style!

What is a Zine?

A zine is a small, self-published publication that you make yourself!

Unlike traditional magazines, there are no real rules. A zine can be about anything you care about.

Think of it as a collection of things you love, care about, or feel inspired by, brought together in one small booklet. Zines are traditionally very DIY, using things like paper, scissors, glue, drawings, and photographs. In this session, we'll be creating ours entirely from old magazines!
