About This Event

A nature-inspired zine-making workshop that invites participants to combine drawing and short-form writing.

This hands-on workshop hosted at the PRINTERHOF book fair invites you to focus on poetic writing inspired by observation of the natural world.

In this two-hour workshop by Gwen Marletta,we will explore repetition and change in our bodies, our memories, and the natural world. By observing these patterns, the workshop invites a collective reflection on cyclicity as a living reminder of our shared belonging.
