I See Zines And Wonders

Make A Zine About A More Sustainable Future

I See Zines And Wonders: No Jobs in the Arts are collaborating with Leicester Libraries to host free zine making workshops about sustainable futures (online and in-person). Register today.

The I See Zines and Wonders workshops will begin online from 6 January 2026 on a weekly basis. In-person workshops at Libraries across Leicester will follow during February half-term (17 to 1 February 2026). Each workshop will be unique and one-of-a-kind, led by a different early-career creative, using a blank piece of paper as a starting point.

During each arty workshop, we will be making zines – a handmade leaflet or booklet – in response to a question or prompt about greener futures. All zines made can during the workshops can enter the brand-new zine shelves in Libraries across Leicester, for everyone to see. Join the workshops to learn to make different zines, engage with inspiring creative activities, and share your ideas for a more sustainable and creative future. 

All workshops are free. Book your workshop place directly with No Jobs in the Arts for Free on Eventbrite to receive email reminders and links for online workshops (essential for participation).
