Fancy doing something a bit different? How about being creative, crafting something tangible and unique? Let’s make zines!
The Library is holding a zine-making workshop on Thursday 10th October 2-4pm. Come along and learn something new!
What are zines and why should I make one?
Zine [pronounced zeen] is short for magazine and zines are small self-published works. They can be anything! Drawings, photos, comics, stuff about your favourite show, how your day has gone, or things you are passionate about changing. It can be about whatever you want it to be.
Making a zine is a great way of expressing yourself, spending some time just focused on something creative, and de-stressing. It can be great for your mental health and wellbeing to just do something creative and positive where there are no stakes.
But what if I’m not creative?
EVERYONE IS CREATIVE! That’s the great thing about zines – there are no judges, no grades, no rules. Whatever you make is unique to you and whatever you want it to be.
All material will be provided. Friendly faces from the library will take you through how to make a zine with just a sheet of paper.
So give it a go! Find us on level 3 of the library on Thursday 10th October between 2pm and 4pm. Come along, relax and have fun!
