Zines are small, self-published booklets that let artists express themselves through art, writing, comics, poetry, or whatever inspires! Whether it is storytelling, activism, journaling, or doodling, zines are a fun and personal way to communicate ideas and artistic voices. Natashna Anderson will lead artists in creating three types of zines using different paper folding techniques, collage and printmaking. This class is for all skill levels 16+. If you need accommodations for this program, please contact the Foundry as soon as you are able.
