Say It Small: Mini Zine Storytelling
Friday, April 24, 2026
5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Focus: Personal Narrative — exploring your story through images, words, and intuitive composition.
Description: Sometimes, the smallest format can hold the biggest truths. In this workshop, we’ll create a simple folded zine, a handmade mini book, as a space to explore your inner stories. Using collage, drawing, and found text, you’ll be invited to follow your intuition rather than a plan. This process encourages gentle reflection, curiosity, and play. Your zine might hold a memory, a dream, a list of reminders to yourself, or simply layers of color and marks that feel right in the moment.
What You’ll Experience:
A quiet and imaginative space to tell stories in your own way
Playful experimentation with paper, image, and text
Permission to create freely, without editing or overthinking
Techniques: intuitive layout, collage layering, drawing and mark integration, simple folded zine construction.
Surface: recommended paper size at least 11 × 17 inches to allow space for layering, folding, and intuitive composition.
Materials: please bring your own paper, pens, glue, scissors, and any collage materials that inspire you such as photos, old magazines, or printed phrases. A list of recommended materials with links will be provided ahead of class.
