Explore the world of DIY publishing through the creation of experimental poetry zines. Fab Lab Artist in Residence Rachel Curry will provide poetry prompts and demonstrate a variety of bookbinding techniques such as pop-ups, foldouts and more.

Space is limited, and registration is required.

Unconventional materials such as fabric and Cricut cutouts will bring these zines to the next level, and you will have the opportunity to show your zines in the library as part of Rachel’s installation at the library, which will be on display in December.
