Zine Workshop for Educators (2018)

---

Over the course of five workshops, teachers/teacher-librarians/zinesters came together to reflect, make art, write, and learn zine-making techniques. 

By the end of the series, teachers created their own zine and were able to bring zine-making to their classrooms.

In this workshop we :

– Created zines that facilitate reflection, art-making and writing on teaching practice.
– Provided hands-on programming to teachers on how to facilitate zine-making in their classrooms.
– Shared the history and practice of zine creation to public school classrooms across New York City.
