About this Event
You'll use writing prompts, imagery, and simple bookmaking techniques to create a personal micro memoir—a small accordion-fold zine that tells your story through words, drawings, and collage.
No writing or artistic experience necessary. Through guided prompts and creative exercises, you'll unearth a memory that shaped you and bring it to life on the page. This is storytelling at its most accessible and personal—your story, your way, in a beautiful handmade format you can share or treasure.
What You'll Learn:
- Memory excavation techniques through writing prompts
- Visual storytelling with collage, drawing, and mixed media
- Simple accordion fold bookmaking structure
- Techniques for combining text and image effectively
- Methods to continue documenting your stories at home
What You'll Make: One completed micro memoir zine (one-sheet-wonder format) featuring your personal story through words and imagery. You'll leave with your finished piece and the confidence to create more.
What's Included: All materials including specialty papers, collage materials, drawing supplies, and tools. Guided prompts and instruction throughout.
Perfect For: Anyone with stories to tell, writers seeking a visual outlet, visual artists wanting to incorporate text, journalers exploring new formats, or anyone curious about personal storytelling through handmade books.
No artistic or writing experience required—just bring an open heart and willingness to explore your memories!
