Children's Workshop: Sneaky Zines 5+ | SEPPELTSFIELD

Children's Workshops at JamFactory Seppeltsfield

Suitable for children aged 5 years of age and over, join Deb Twining of Twining Arts in this fun and inventive workshop to create your own paper zines and trading cards filled with colourful characters, inspired by the collaborative surrealist game 'Exquisite Corpse', where multiple artists contribute to a single piece without seeing previous contributions.

A variety of mediums will be provided for participants to draw a range of characters which can be turned into a unique folded zine with hidden cards which can be pulled in and out, flipped and changed around for different compositions and combinations. Extra cards can also be made for extra options and trading with friends.

This workshop is suitable for children aged 5 years and over (guardians and caregivers are also welcome to book in and participate). All tools and materials will be provided.
