Public Interest Zine Making 5:00-7:00 (pay you can) (2/15)
2026-02-15 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
“Public Interest” is a concern for the well-being of all people, rather than individuals, specific groups, or companies.
The world is messed up and scary. Information and education can help. Learn how to make zines. Get your message across to people. Help them understand why we all do better when we all do better.
Suggested donation of $15 for the two-hour workshop. No one turned away. Proceeds support Looky Here. All supplies included.

The Coptic Stitch Bookmaking Workshop with Sarah Wisby (two weeks, 3/17 - 3/24, 6:00-9:00 p.m., $150)
2026-03-17 18:00 - 21:00
Coptic Stitch Bookbinding
This binding dates back to the 4th Century and the Egyptian Christians known as Copts. The sewing is exposed on the book spine in a chain pattern of tear-drop-shaped links, making it visually appealing to bookmakers and book users.
Because these spines are unsupported (no added tapes, glue or other materials), they are flexible, which allows the inside pages to lie open perfectly flat. Covers are made flush so the book block will not sag when it is stored upright on a shelf.
Because they open flat, Coptic books are especially useful as albums, sketchbooks, and recipe books–anytime you need both hands free while keeping an eye on the page. Coptic stitch books are ideal as artists’ books combining experimental materials and perfect for making gift books, either blank or pre-filled with memorabilia.
In this 2-week, 6 hour class, you will look at examples of Coptic bookbinding, practice the stitch on a dummy book, then choose from an array of papers, thread, and cover materials (or bring your own!) to make your own one-of-a-kind book.
Max 7 students

Pile of Poems to Manuscript with Zoe Tuck (five weeks, 4/1 - 4/29, 6:00-8:00 $125)
2026-04-01 18:00 - 20:00
Pile of Poems to Manuscript is a class for anyone who has been writing poems but is struggling to turn them into a manuscript. Over the course of six weeks, we’ll look at various organizing principles and techniques that authors have used in their books and apply them to our own work. We will engage in a series of exercises involving arranging, adding, and removing poems, and editing work not only with an eye towards a single piece but its role within a larger whole. We will also talk about why we create and publish books and work on tailoring our plans for publication and circulation to the scale and audience we want.
