Unlock your creative voice in this hands-on, high-energy workshop where every student becomes a publisher! In this class, we’ll dive into the world of DIY media by learning the "magic" of turning a single sheet of paper into an eight-page booklet. Participants will explore everything from storytelling and illustration to layout design and collage techniques. Whether you want to draw a comic, share a story about your favorite pet, or create a guide to your own world, this class provides all the tools to turn your big ideas into a tangible, sharable zine. No experience is necessary—just bring your imagination and get ready to cut, paste, and create!

Experience subject

Teaching children how to create their own zines is one of the most rewarding ways to blend artistic expression with storytelling. I love guiding students through the process—from the initial "magic" of folding a single sheet of paper into an eight-page booklet to exploring how layouts and DIY aesthetics can give them a powerful, independent voice. Seeing them take ownership of their ideas, whether they are illustrating personal narratives or crafting collaborative mini-magazines, is always a highlight; it’s an incredible exercise in both creative freedom and structural design that helps them realize that their perspectives are worth publishing.
