“The BEST first-time zine workshop experience!

I attended the Making Zines Workshop yesterday, and it completely exceeded my expectations - this wasn’t just a class, it was a creative awakening! It was my very first time making zines, and I was a bit nervous walking in… but I walked out totally inspired (and ready to make ten more).

Our instructor, Jasper (they/them), was absolutely brilliant - warm, knowledgeable, inclusive, and full of encouragement. They created such a welcoming space for everyone to explore their own stories and creative quirks. Jasper even offered to show me how to stitch-bind my zine by hand (!!) - such a thoughtful and hands-on touch that made the experience feel super special.

The venue had everything you could possibly need: scissors, glue sticks, papers, pens, markers, mags to cut up all ready to go. It was organised, colourful, and full of creative buzz. I felt like a kid in an art supply candy shop.

What I loved most? The freedom to express myself without pressure. I created a funny little zine about a wild gym saga, and no one judged; everyone was just into it! That kind of support and vibe is so rare, and so valuable.

Highly recommend to anyone, whether you're brand new to zines or a seasoned maker. I'm already planning my next zine!”
