Event Details
The Yavapai County Free Library District will be hosting writer in residence, Lana Buckner, at our Clark Memorial Library location from July 3 through September 28, 2024.
Zines II is the second of a series of special Writer in Residence workshops by Lana Buckner from July through September 2024.
No sweat if you missed Zines I. Zines II will cover a variety of simple ways to make a booklet, from paper-cutting and folding techniques to stitch binding. We will also explore pop-ups, pull tabs, and other interactive book designs.
These skills can be used to make a unique zine, journal, or card!
Office hours following the workshop will give participants additional time to access materials or work with the instructor.
This workshop is suited for teens and adults. Check the calendar for kids’ workshops on August 17 & 24!
