About this Event

Fold & Tell: Zines and Mini Books

Thursday, October 2nd from 6-8p.m.

Zines, short for “magazines,” are mini books made by anyone with something to say—artists, writers, activists, your neighbor, even you. Rooted in underground movements and DIY culture, zines have grown from niche counterculture into a powerful tool for sharing ideas and building community. In this workshop, we’ll explore the rich history of zine-making, celebrate the excitement of telling your story your way, and spend time creating your own. Whether you’re here to make something personal, political, poetic, or playful, this is your space to experiment, connect, and create. Supplies are included, but one is welcome to bring their own crafting supplies as well!

Instructor: Erin Poe

Ages: All ages welcome! (younger artists welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult)

Cost: $20

Registration available online, in person or over the phone. If you are redeeming a gift card, please call the office to register.
