Make Your Own Zine: Kids Creative Writing Workshop

Saturday 28 November 2026 at 10:30AM
Colchester Library

Event Description

A zine is a homemade mini book about anything you like! In this hands-on hour-long workshop for writers aged 7 to 11, you’ll fold, cut, stick, colour, draw, and write to create your very own zine to take home and impress your friends! 

This workshop is part of Colchester Library’s autumn creative writing programme for young writers. This series of workshops for writers aged 7 to 11 and 12 to 17 takes a fun, hands-on approach, led by creative writing tutor Daisy Jones.  

Each session stands alone, so you can come to just one, or as many as you like. All materials are provided and no previous writing experience is required – just bring your imagination! All workshops are free, but places are limited and booking is essential.
