Ready to Make Your Own Zines?
Have you heard about zines? They’re the greatest thing since tortillas were invented by the Taco Bell chihuahua [citation needed]—they may not taste as good (it’s just paper, after all), but they’re usually much more appealing to look at!
On Saturday, April 18, Community Development Educator Joseph Miller will set up a table full of Iron County zines at one of the longest-running celebrations of zine art and culture in the Midwest, the Milwaukee Zine Fest. Held at the Milwaukee Central Library on Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee Zine Fest is described as “an annual explosion of zine-focused wonder in the form of a boisterous festival featuring over 100 vendors from across the country.”
This is a great opportunity to share some of the unique history, culture, and stories of Iron County in a creative and collaborative way.
If you’d like to help fill the display table, there’s still time! Late Run Coffee will host the first of four workshops on Tuesday, March 31, followed by the Crafty Cup on Thursday, April 2. Lastly, on Monday, April 13, the Mercer Public Library and Hurley Public Library will round out the series.
All workshops are open to all ages and will include a drink and snack. Registration is preferred and there is a suggested donation of $10.
