Zine Making: Express yourself! Zines are independently produced, photocopied booklets that contain original artwork, journal entries, poetry, fiction, political writing or all of the above. Together we’ll review the history of zines, flip through a collection of fun creations for inspiration and each develop a zine of our own.
