✏️ Making Mini Zines

Turn your ideas into a tiny comic with a big story!

In this fun and creative workshop, participants will learn how to make their own mini comic zine from start to finish. They’ll explore drawing, lettering, visual storytelling and simple folding techniques to turn their artwork into a little handmade book.

Your story can be anything you like a wild fantasy adventure, something funny that happened to you, an imaginary world, or simply something you want everyone to know!

Participants will experiment with different ways to show action, emotion and personality through drawings, while discovering how words and images can work together to tell a story.

No previous drawing or comic-making experience is needed, just bring your imagination and a story to tell! 🌟
