About this event
After a year of sold-out sessions, Artizine Club returns this spring/summer with a new programme of monthly zine magic. 💥
Each month, we explore a new theme, experiment with fun formats, and tap into the power of storytelling through zines.
💫 Upcoming Themes (2025)
🌳 APRIL: 'Momentum' – Shake off the fog and set your pace—create zines that capture the energy of moving forward and building momentum.
🌼 MAY: 'Blossoms & Struggles' – Celebrate spring’s renewal and the resilience of the labor movement with zines about growth, activism, and community.
☀️ JUNE: Wildling – Embrace nature’s raw energy as a metaphor for breaking free and growing from the roots up.
🍓 JULY: Sweet & Sour – A zine feast of cravings, contrasts, and sun-soaked moods. Think bold flavours, shifting feelings, and summer at its juiciest.
You can come for a one-off workshop or join each month as a regular.
