So excited to share the first ZINE CLUB of 2026 ✨
We’ve got a lot of ideas we’re ready to bring into this space and can’t wait to begin building this community with you.
@emmagibbsdeoliveira.art & @katie.in.colour are joining forces once again to create a fun, accessible and inclusive workshop. A place to play, experiment, cut, stick, write, draw and make without pressure or expectation.
We’ll be exploring zine-making alongside paper puzzle purses. A simple, satisfying folded form that becomes a small, interactive artwork you can fill with words, images, secrets or stories.
Whether you’re new to zines or have been making them for years, this is a space to slow down, get curious and create alongside others.
What’s a puzzle purse?
A puzzle purse is a simple folded paper form that opens and closes in stages, revealing hidden spaces for drawings, words, symbols or messages. It’s playful, tactile and surprisingly satisfying. Especially the final magic fold ✨
During ZINE CLUB, we’ll show you how to make one from a single sheet of paper and invite you to fill it in your own way.
📍 Brazilarte Academy, Southend-on-Sea, SS2 5SP
🗓 Saturday 7th February
⏰ 2.30–5pm
All materials provided.
Come as you are. Leave with something handmade.
