Discover the World of DIY Zines

Curious about Zines? Join Ohio artist Anne Skove for a hands-on introduction to the creative and accessible world of DIY zine-making. In this beginner-friendly workshop, participants will learn how to transform a single sheet of paper into a unique folded booklet ready for personal expression.

Zines (pronounced โ€œzeensโ€) are small, self-published booklets that celebrate creativity, storytelling, and artistic freedom. Rooted in a strong do-it-yourself spirit, zines can include drawings, collage, handwritten text, poetry, comics, or anything else you can imagine. There are no strict rulesโ€”just an open invitation to experiment and have fun.

What Youโ€™ll Create

During this session, Anne will guide participants step-by-step through creating a classic mini zine format. Youโ€™ll explore simple folding and cutting techniques, layout ideas, and creative approaches to filling your pages. Whether you want to tell a story, share thoughts, create abstract art, or simply play with materials, this workshop offers a welcoming space to try something new.

All experience levels are welcomeโ€”no prior art or bookmaking skills required. Participants will leave with at least one completed mini zine and the knowledge to continue making more at home.

Materials: Paper and basic tools will be available. Participants are also welcome to bring favorite markers, pencils, collage materials, or small images to personalize their work.
