Produced and led in partnership with Possible Worlds.

Zines (pronounced zeens) are self-published, non-commercial, handmade booklets. They are vehicles for sharing information and for marginalized voices to express themselves. Zines are often created using cut-and-paste techniques, then photocopied for distribution.

Join Possible Worlds Co-Director Melanie Yugo and local zinesters Kiran Niet and Rebecca Yates from Tales from Behind the Counter to meet up, share and collaborate on zines. Participants will create their own zine using the one-sheet technique and artist prompts. Participants are encouraged to bring zines from their collection for inspiration and discussion.

Basic materials and tools (paper, pencils, markers, scissors, glue) will be provided, but participants may bring their own materials (e.g. markers, pencil crayons, watercolours, glue, images).

Free to participate. No experience required. Program is for participants aged 18 & up.

Registration preferred.​ Drop-ins welcome, subject to room capacity.​

Do you like to knit, crochet or do handwork or sort?  Please join like-minded individuals for an enjoyable afternoon of crafting.  Bring any project that you are working on.  Drop-in!

Tea and cookies will be served!

Join us for this fun and easy craft as we teach you to make coasters out of cotton fabric to place your cups, mugs and glasses on.

Absolutely no experience with a sewing machine needed. We will walk you step-by-step through the entire process, teaching you everything that you need to know. All supplies will be provided. 

Registration is required.
