Let’s make some zines together!

I’m excited to share that I will be teaching a Zine-Making Workshop on Tuesday May 17 at 4-5:30pm at the Dobbs Ferry Public Library.

About this class

Explore this accessible and informal mini-magazine format in a hands-on class that introduces young writers and illustrators to the art of zine-making. Students will have the opportunity to make a zine in a genre of their choosing (including ‘all-about-me’ zines, fan-fiction zines, mini-comics, art zines, ‘how to’ zines, and more). Recommended for ages 7-12. Tuesday, May 17th, 4 PM.

Jane Jacobs was born more than a hundred years ago, yet the ideas she popularized — about cities, people, and creating a more equitable world — remain hugely relevant today. “JANE JACOBS: CHAMPION OF CITIES, CHAMPION OF PEOPLE, the first biography on Jane Jacobs for young readers, paints a vivid picture of a headstrong and principled young girl who committed her life to building cities made for, and by, the people who live in them.
