The South Arkansas Arts Center invites the community to explore the art of storytelling through collage and paper craft at “Mini Masterpieces: A Collage Zine Workshop,” led by El Dorado native and University of Arkansas student Jill Stone, on Sat, Nov 15, from 9am to 4pm. Register here.
This hands-on workshop will guide participants through the process of creating mini collage zines—small, handmade paper books often called mini magazines or fan zines. Using folded paper, participants will construct pocket-sized books of eight pages each, with the opportunity to produce multiple zines throughout the day.
Stone will encourage participants to draw inspiration from favorite poems, literary works, or their own original writing, pairing words with images in inventive collages. Using found and recycled materials—books, magazines, packaging, tags, labels, scraps, and more—participants will transform everyday paper into artful expressions of creativity.
“I’m excited to share this workshop, because zines have been an important outlet where my writing and art can come together. Zines, mini magazines, are an accessible, shareable, and interactive medium where anyone can create a story, illustrate a poem, express their opinions and so much more,” shared Stone.
The full-day workshop is $40. All basic materials, including collaging supplies, white and colored paper, scissors, and glue, will be provided. Guests are also welcome to bring personal materials to further customize their zines. The workshop will run from 9am–12pm, pause for lunch, and resume from 1–4pm.
“Mini Masterpieces: A Collage Zine Workshop” is an opportunity that could attract artists, writers, and anyone eager to explore the creative process in a fun, accessible format.
