August's paper jam was a whole scene... a zine scene!

A huge thank you to Tristán of 𝕿𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆́𝖓 for leading another amazing workshop and sharing the world of zines with us. And thank you to everyone who joined us and turned a little piece of paper into something completely their own. We loved seeing all your creativity packed into those tiny pages.

Until next time, keep making things, keep telling your stories, and remember... there's no wrong way to jam!
