Course Description
Let’s play with paper and create our own little zine. Zines (short for magazine) are a fun way to create a small series of collages or tell a story. Collage zines are a fantastic way to blend art, storytelling, and personal expression into a compact, handmade publication. If you're new to the world of zines or collage art, don't worry—it's a fun and forgiving medium that welcomes all skill levels. We’ll explore different approaches and create a fun zine, which can be photocopied to share! All supplies included.
