Join us for a relaxed, confidence-boosting session where we’ll create a small handmade zine (a tiny folded book) from scratch. You’ll learn how to fold your own zine, share a selection of inspiring examples from Kama’s personal collection, and be guided through fun, low-pressure drawing prompts to fill your pages. This is all about creativity over perfection.

All ages are welcome and you’ll leave the session with your own finished zine to take home
This is a “you can draw” space — designed to help you loosen up, let go of perfectionism, and enjoy making marks on paper, even if you’ve never drawn before.

Price: Pay what you feel. Book your place here
