Join us for this free creative workshop as we explore the world of DIY publishing by making our own zines!

Join us for our monthly creative morning in the heart of Colchester! This month we will be exploring the world of DIY publishing by learning how to make our own zines!

In this 2 hour workshop, we will be learning how to make zines, DIY booklets that share art, knowledge and stories. They have a rich history in the self-publishing world for their accessibility and content freedom.

Adelaide, who is facilitating the session, will guide you through the materials available for you to use. Throughout the session she will offer guidance, suggestions and encouragement.

Do I need anything meaningful to share?

Not at all! This workshop is about sharing a couple of ways you can make a zine, the rest is up to you. We will have a couple of suggestions on hand on what you can make your zine about.

Do I need to be interested in self-publishing to make a zine?

Nope! This is an explorative workshop to introduce you to something new and different.

All materials and resources will be provided on the day. If you have any supplies you would like to use, you are welcome to bring them along with you.

Tea and coffee are available throughout the session free of change.
