Zine Workshop with Julia Arredondo:

Free - Register TODAY
Held virtually on Zoom
This workshop will utilize personal artifacts by preserving their memory in newly constructed visual narratives. In other words, this is an old-school, cut-n-paste zine workshop (presented virtually). We will be cutting things out and composing zine pages collage-style. This workshop is for beginners and for folks who are interested in analog, hands-on methods of zine making.
