Zine Sanctuary and Workshop at St Margaret's House with Artizine

A drop-in zine library and zine-making workshop by Artizine for Creativity & Wellbeing Week 2025
💫 In the spirit of “New Horizons”:

Step into a gentle, welcoming space designed to help you slow down, listen in, and explore the gentle yet radical power of zine-making. Whether you’re curious to create your very first zine or simply want to browse stories told by others, Zine Sanctuary offers space to reflect, discover, and play, with no pressure to perform or produce.

At the heart of the space, you’ll find:

A cozy Zine Library with over 200 self-published zines from around the world, curated by Ioana (aka Artizine).

A hands-on zine-making station* with prompts, materials, and creative guidance from Emma (Gazette for Girls) and Isabela (Cool Girl Making Zines), members of Artizine Club.

A display of Ioana’s handmade zines and stories from past community workshops.

A chance to join Artizine Club, a monthly creative gathering where you can practice zine-making with friends.

A collaborative Community Zine-in-Progress, where visitors can contribute a page, drawing, poem, or reflection on what their own “new horizon” looks or feels like.

IMPORTANT: The zine-making station will host two drop-in workshops on a first come, first served basis. Around 20 spaces are available for each session:

🕛 12:00–13:30 – Facilitated by Emma
🕒 14:00–15:30 – Facilitated by Isabela

This workshop is not specifically designed for children. However, parents or carers are welcome to join with their children as long as they are supervised throughout.

This is a space for listening:

👂 To yourself, through quiet creative time,
📚 To others, through the voices shared in zines.
🌱 To community, by co-creating a space rooted in care and curiosity.

All are welcome—no art experience needed, just a little curiosity.

Come for five minutes or stay for hours.
