SAW: Sawtooth Artist Workshops
Saturday 20th December, 10am-12pm
Domestic Dioramas: Zine Making For All with Tim Butcher.
Join us for our final Sawtooth Artist Workshop for 2025, Zine Making For All with Tim Butcher.
“Come along to this fun, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to make your own mini-magazine (called a zine) to tell a story that matters to you. It might be a memory, a recipe, a local legend, or just something you love. You can bring photos, drawings, writing or anything else you’d like to include in your zine — or start from scratch on the day.
Led by creative storyteller Tim Butcher from ConnectCurateCreate, this workshop is for all ages — kids, teens, parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles… — all welcome! No experience is needed, and materials are supplied. You’ll get to fold, cut, glue, draw, and play with layout to turn your story into a real little booklet to take home and treasure, share with friends and family or take to zine fairs. Come solo or bring a friend or relative and make something together.
This is a relaxed and welcoming session — a great way to try something new, learn a few creative techniques, and enjoy some creative time with others in your community.”
