This free workshop will be led by queer Chinese-Canadian artist Natalie Mark, whose work is somewhere between a reflection of life and a little bit curious. They will be present to guide you through the creation of your own zine. No prior experience is required. This is a chance to express your voice, ideas, and story to create something beautiful.
