Change in Bloom: Making Mixed Media Zines

Spring is the season of growth and new energy. Bring your spring colors to life on the page with writing and art! We will be making Zines, small handmade books that combine words and images. Using poetry, watercolor, and collage, we will explore themes of movement and change. You will finish the workshop with an original zine to take home. No writing or art experience required! * Las profes hablan español
