Zines & Mini Comics for Teens

$165

with Kat Boss

Calendar Next available session starts Sep 25, 2025 at 4 pm, runs for 4 weeks
1 additional session on Oct 30, 2025

Ages: 13 - 19

Discover the world of zines and mini comics—DIY booklets that mix art, writing, and self-expression. In this hands-on class, you'll learn about the history of zines, from underground punk scenes and sci-fi fan clubs to personal storytelling and collage art. Each week, you'll explore a different theme, like silent comics, perzines (personal zines), collage/catalog zines, or subcultures, and create your own short pieces inspired by that focus.

You’ll draft, share, and develop your work through group activities and independent projects, while learning easy DIY methods to print and assemble your creations. No fancy equipment or experience needed—just your ideas and creativity.

At the end of each 4-week session, we’ll celebrate by trading copies of our zines and mini comics, building a collection of unique voices and styles from the whole class. This class is for teenagers of all skill levels and all materials are included.
