A Lighthouse Poetry Zine Workshop
You have a single poem you’re ready to put into the world, or maybe just the seed of a poetic idea – words ready for the page, but not yet not a collection or even a pamphlet. You need a zine!
Join writer/poet/facilitator JJ Fadaka for some gentle, cathartic creativity. We’ll show you how to cut and prep a tiny booklet and unleash your poetry within – whether it is polished, charmingly chaotic, understated or bursting at the seams, your zine will be your own to take with you or pass along.
Inclusive, accessible & interactive – All experience levels are welcome at this wee zine workshop!
Lighthouse provides all materials you will need to create your zine, but feel free to bring some of your own collage materials from home too – these may include magazine pages, coloured papers, stickers, ribbons, tape, paper decorations, etc.
