Part of Sunny Bank Mills Print Festival 2025.
In this workshop, we will learn how to turn everyday sheets of paper into different kinds of folded books, and then fill the pages with collage, drawings, and stories.
Zines can really be about anything, from real diaries or imaginary tales to funny jokes or secret obsessions. Turn your drawings and ideas into zines and share them with the world.
Please note - this workshop is suitable for children and adults aged 8+. Any under 18s must be accompanied, and adult supervision will be needed at all times due to the use of scissors during this session.
We aim for children and their carer givers to enjoy this workshop together, so please book tickets for each person your group. Every attendee must have a ticket for the session due to limited space within the workshop venue.
