In this hands-on workshop series, zine-maker Sarah “Shay” Mirk will share a giant pile of Zines as inspiration, then lead participants through the process
of folding a Zine out of a sheet of paper. We will write and draw a Zine based on a fun prompt. No skills or tools necessary, just bring your desire to be
creative.
Join us on Monday, December 5, 2022 and Tuesday, February 7, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. in the
Magazine Reading Room at the Longview Public Library for these fun filled creative workshops.
