What you'll learn:
Embark on a crafting adventure this summer at the Crosby Branch Library. Teens ages 13 and up are invited to design, craft, and hand-sew their own unique felt cryptid plushie!
Please note that participants should be comfortable using basic crafting tools such as scissors, sewing needles, and other sewing supplies independently. Instruction will be provided, but attendees are expected to complete their own projects during the class, and parents or guardians will not be able to attend or complete the craft on their behalf.
Create your own mini-underground-magazine in this hands-on zine workshop. Teens ages 13 and up will learn the basics of zine making, including a brief history, collage, drawing, and creative writing. Using paper, magazines, markers, and other craft supplies, participants will design a small self-published booklet that expresses their ideas, stories, art, or interests.
No prior experience is needed—just bring your creativity. All supplies will be provided, and each participant will leave with a finished zine and the skills to continue making their own at home.
