DIY Print Expression
Zines are the lowest-friction way to publish something you care about. Kate Bingaman-Burt walks you through the history of zine culture, hands you creative prompts (your cell phone history, your first crush, tiny office plants), and provides a template so folding and cutting work. No permission needed, no gatekeepers. Just an idea, a sheet of paper, and a pen.
A masterclass in why DIY creative expression matters and how to start making one today.
