KRF2024: Zine Workshop - Cry Me A River

This unique, immersive workshop invites you to explore the depths of your emotions and creativity through the art of zine-making and to channel your feelings into something beautiful and meaningful. Join us as we draw inspiration from the healing power of rivers, symbols of continuity and renewal, to celebrate the full spectrum of human emotions. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have crafted your very own zine, a personal and powerful testament to your emotional creative journey. And you’ll also connect with a community of like-minded individuals who understand and appreciate the healing power of art. Participants should come to the workshop with the writing and colouring tools they prefer, as well as other materials like old newspapers, magazines, washi tape, craft paper and string.
