Into the Rose Garden: A Community Zine Workshop // October 12th 12-3pm

  • $25.00

The deets

There is no garden without each of its flowers; there is no community without each of its members. On October 12th from 12-3pm, come alongside those with whom we share a community for an invitation into communal creation. In this workshop, attendees will enter into an intentional space of making art together, seeking to reflect our shared diversity and unity.

Each creative will leave having contributed their own piece of art or writing to be compiled in a final community zine, as well as having offered their own element into a communal art piece at the center of that zine.

All are welcome; supplies will be provided, but attendees are encouraged to bring whatever materials get their creativity flowing. Print and digital copies will be shared with attendees two weeks following the workshop. Extra copies will be available to the public at Soy Much Brighter. Given the longer nature of this workshop, attendees may choose to leave early when they have completed their artistic offerings.

Students will walk away from the class with:

  • skills on where to start with zine-making
  • community building skills
  • hopefully some friends!

Who this workshop is for:

  • This class is for creatives of all backgrounds and experience levels looking to create writing of any genre and/or visual art in any 2d medium.

All supplies are included. The class is capped at 15 participant with a minimum of 5 in order to run the workshop. If fewer than 5 people sign up, the class will be canceled and you will be refunded.
