A chance for people to get together with fellow crafters for a session where you can bring along your current make and share ideas - Or simply enjoy talking with others over a cup of tea. 

Free to attend.

Gloucestershire Libraries are committed to creating an inclusive community and are working towards a place where everyone feels welcome, safe and valued for who they are. Our events are for everyone: We welcome you whatever your socio-economic background, ability, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, religious beliefs or sexual orientation. If you have any access requirements or if you need further information about the event, please contact libraries.development@gloucestershire.gov.uk ahead of the session.

Come and find out more about zines, explore the ZIG/ZAG/ZINES collection (which includes lots of handmade/printed zines made by various independent creators from around the world, all related to neurodiversity, disability, and mental health), and have a go at making your own!
All materials/instructions will be provided.

*Zines (pronounced “zeens”) are independently produced, low/no-cost DIY publications. They can be about any subject and created in any style, typically within a format that allows fast, simple reproduction and small-scale distribution. They may be informative, creative, and/or subversive, and are often used by people from socially marginalised groups and communities to record and share ideas and stories.
