(Y/A) Zine Scene; Practical Magic Edition

Ages 17 - Up

Express yourself through art, stories, doodles, and more as you create an 8-page zine from a single sheet of paper. Celebrate all things spooky, share what makes October magical, or tell the world something unique about yourself. There are no rules, no mistakes, and no limits. Zines are all about creativity and self-expression!

A zine is a small, self-published booklet that lets you express your creativity and interests in a fun, personal, and often unconventional way. During this program, you'll create your own 8-page zine dedicated to something you know, love, or simply want to share.

Never heard of a zine before? That's okay! Come discover what zines are all about, explore examples, and learn how easy and fun they are to make. Whether you're an artist, writer, crafter, foodie, gamer, gardener, or just curious, you'll leave with a unique creation that's entirely your own.

Join us for a relaxed, creative evening of folding, drawing, writing, and sharing ideas.
