Please note: this event will be held in person.
Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about places you've never been and adventures you're yet to have?
In this zine-making workshop, we’ll explore that fleeting wanderlust through the art of collage. Using travel ephemera generously donated from across the pond, you'll have the unique opportunity to cut and paste your imagined memories with genuine American postcards, ticket stubs, leaflets, maps, and more. Whether it’s an enchanted road trip across the Midwest or an abstract interpretation of the travel remnants, this is your chance to step in someone else's shoes and give new meaning to the fragmented records of their travel.

Please note: we can only issue refunds requested 72 hours before the workshop begins.
