If your feelings spill beyond a simple card this Valentine’s Day, it’s time for the “ValenZINE Workshop!” This workshop is all about the ancient art of zine-making, but there’s a twist – the spotlight is on LOVE. Show the world how your unique love story looks, because, let’s face it, it’s different for everyone. Zines are your canvas for experimentation, and your creativity knows no bounds.
Will you pen a heartfelt poem? Craft an epic comic of your love saga? Or maybe collage your canvas with the melodramatic beauty of your heart’s content? Zines are your stage to shine.
Don’t be a card cliché; join us and create your ValenZINE masterpiece!
This program is hosted in partnership with Kingston Canadian Film Festival and the Broom Factory.
