Sustaining Creativity in the Home: A Zine Exploration

  • Delight Factory 303 Saratoga Ave Brooklyn, NY 11233 USA (map)

How do you create a home in which art can survive?

​In this 90-minute artmaking workshop, attendees will learn to make a miniature zine and then use it as a container for a meditation on the spaces we inhabit and the objects that support our creative practices.

​Taking inspiration from Circlings artist features, which invite artists to share a glimpse behind the scenes of their art practice using material objects and spaces as an entry point, this workshop invites community members to consider the same question. How do you make space for your creative work? What are the tools, supports, and material objects that facilitate your practice?

​Participants will first be guided through the process of creating a versatile mini zine out of paper, and then work through a series of prompts from a drawing warmup to a brainstorming activity, an object study, and a reflection, before sharing out with the group.

​Your registration includes: 

  • ​All artmaking supplies

  • ​Facilitated zine-making experience with take-home instructions provided

  • ​Guided artmaking and share out in community

  • ​Subscription to Circling

​💫 All ages welcome! Share this event with a friend you'd like to join you.

​💞 Pay what you can. $5-$30 range suggested.

​From past participants:

​“I loved the progression from basic paper folding to warm-up doodles to written lists of inspirations, to drawing + journaling. I really enjoyed this session! It was so helpful to [get unstuck] to draw again.”

​“I love the ease and calm of the topic and the hosts. It was so easy to be creative when the prompts are so accessible.”

​All attendees will receive upcoming issues of Circling. You may unsubscribe at any time.
