Zine Making Workshop on July 16, 2026 reposted by Ruth Paget

Zine Making Workshop on July 16, 2026 at the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois.

This free workshop by library school student Liz Mason looks very interesting.  Liz Mason’s biography provides a good background on her work in this field.

Workshop details follow:

Note: This sounds like a fun activity for tourists in other workshops.  They could do souvenir zines with photos, ticket stubs, receipts, menus, postcards and so on. This could be a gig business.
