Zines!
with Elizabeth Castaldo

Zines are small DIY books that anyone can make to share art and ideas with others! In this workshop participants will learn how to make two easy book structures that are perfect for zines. We will talk about how to add content for analog and digital reproduction and have materials on hand for participants to add content to their books.
