Zines are self-published handmade booklets of writing and art that are folded or bound in a DIY-manner (such as with staples) and printed/circulated on a small scale. Zines can be used for many kinds of writing, such as poetry, essays, manifestos, stories, almost any genre or topic. In this workshop, we'll talk about zines, look at some examples, observe nature for inspiration, and then make our own zines! Art supplies will be provided, and participants can use natural materials gathered on a trail walk to create and decorate their zines. Participants will also have the option to share and discuss their work with others. This event will be partially outdoors, so please dress according to the weather. Experienced and beginner poets/artists welcome!
