Collage & Zine-Making Workshop
General Writing Workshop Pop-Up
WHEN: Wednesday 15th December, 10am-12pm
WHERE: Ffotogallery Wales, Fanny Street, CF24 4EH
COST: FREE
These are the LAST workshops Joshua is running at Ffotogallery, so for these special one-off workshops on 15th and 16th December, Joshua will be joined by Ruth Holliday to deliver a session on zine-making and collage!
Joshua & Ruth will be guiding small groups through creative collage and zine-making activities, including prompted activities and how to bring text and art together. All activities are designed so that everybody of any level or ability can join in!
These workshops are open to everyone — if you have little or no experience of collage and zine making, then this is for you. Anyone of any age and ability, sex, gender, ethnic background or nationality is welcome. The aim of these workshops is to provide a safe space where people feel free to express themselves and share their ideas regarding creative work, where bigotry, sexism, racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism etc will not be tolerated.
