Happy Nonsense Mini-Zine with Christine Hennebury
What: Add a dash of silly to your zine-making! In this workshop, Christine Hennebury from the Association for the Arts in Mount Pearl, will help you look for the fun in everyday items. Your mini-zine could offer advice from a sandwich, a list of pet peeves from a school bus, lessons in how to (properly) dance with your spaghetti or any other nonsense you can come up with! We’ll have prompts and samples to coax your brain into giving this foolishness a whirl.
