summer workshop: zine & bookmaking

this workshop gives participants the chance to write and self-publish an original “zine,” and then also to collaborate on an original story to be professionally published into a finished book. both of these projects allow participants to develop their creative writing and understand the elements of DIY and professional publishing, and each participant will leave with a finished zine and book in hand.
