Join teaching artist and zine maker extraordinaire Erika Rier for a hands-on family workshop where your fam turns everyday adventures, from rainy days and pancake mishaps to all those little inside jokes, into a one-of-a-kind coloring book and activity-page zine. We’ll start with playful art-making warm-ups, then brainstorm together to choose your zine’s theme, subject, and delightfully quirky title. Next, you’ll experiment with layouts, folds, doodles, and interactive surprises to create pages only your family could invent. Leave with a handmade zine ready to treasure, photocopy, and share your family’s weird and wonderful stories.
Why Join? Families will collaborate, experiment, and play while exploring the creative possibilities of zine making. It’s a joyful, hands-on way to bond, share ideas, and create something that’s uniquely yours, all while learning zine-making techniques from a seasoned multimedia artist.
