This workshop is to introduce participants to the power of drawing and zinemaking, which in combination create a unique format for individual and collective self-expression.
Participants will create a personal zine based on a process-based approach to drawing using ink, nib and brush, with an emphasis on gestural mark-making and storytelling.
