Perhaps it’s no surprise that there’s been [an upsurge in zine-making](https://hyperallergic.com/enter-the-quaranzine-zines-that-boost-resistance-mutual-aid-and-self-care/) during the COVID-19 quarantine. Zines are relatively easy to make, and are perfect for personal storytelling. They’re also fun to make with other people.

On Tuesday, May 26, the [Women’s Center for Creative Work (WCCW)](https://womenscenterforcreativework.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com) will be offering [an online zine workshop](https://womenscenterforcreativework.com/events/online-workshop-zines-101/?ref=hyperallergic.com) from 6 to 7pm (PST). The lesson, which is free with a suggested donation, will be led by WCCW’s Education Coordinator and prolific zine-maker Lindsey Lee Eichenberger. “\[I\]t’s a nice, lowish-stakes activity that gets our minds working and taps into our crafty side,” Eichenberger reflected over email. 

Before diving into hands-on activities, Eichenberger plans on briefly sharing the history of self-publishing, from abolitionist [newspapers](https://hyperallergic.com/313889/the-underground-press-and-its-extraordinary-moment-in-us-history/) to the underground punk movement of [Riot Grrrl](https://hyperallergic.com/tag/riot-grrrl/) in the 1990s. She hopes this presentation will show how self-publishing has contributed “to social movements and why that’s relevant with zine-making today.”

For the zines, you’ll just need some paper, scissors, and your “favorite writing utensil.” Eichenberger promises to show you how to fold a “mini one-page zine” and will give you a prompt to fill the pages. (For additional inspiration, I recommend [perusing these wonderful projects](https://hyperallergic.com/enter-the-quaranzine-zines-that-boost-resistance-mutual-aid-and-self-care/) focusing on self-care, mutual aid, and more.) 

And for the teachers and students out there, Eichenberger is designing this class as a model for future lesson plans, especially if schools continue to hold classes virtually in the fall. 

**When:** Tuesday, May 26, 6–7pm (PST)  
**Where:** Crowdcast
