SAAC invites the community to explore the art of storytelling through collage and paper craft at “Mini Masterpieces: A Collage Zine Workshop,” led by El Dorado native and University of Arkansas student Jill Stone, on Saturday, November 15, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The full-day workshop is $40.
This hands-on workshop will guide participants through the process of creating mini collage zines—small, handmade paper books often called mini magazines or fan zines. Using folded paper, participants will construct pocket-sized books of eight pages each, with the opportunity to produce multiple zines throughout the day.
“Mini Masterpieces: A Collage Zine Workshop” is open to artists, writers, and anyone interested in exploring the creative process in a fun, accessible format. Stone will encourage participants to draw inspiration from favorite poems, literary works, or their own original writing, pairing words with images in inventive collages. Using found and recycled materials—books, magazines, packaging, tags, labels, scraps, and more—participants will transform everyday paper into artful expressions of creativity.
“I’m excited to share this workshop, because zines have been an important outlet where my writing and art can come together. Zines, mini magazines, are an accessible, shareable, and interactive medium where anyone can create a story, illustrate a poem, express their opinions and so much more,” shared Stone.

All basic materials, including collaging supplies, white and colored paper, scissors, and glue, will be provided. Guests are also welcome to bring personal materials to further customize their zines. The workshop will run from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m., pause for lunch, and resume from 1:00–4:00 p.m. The fee is $40.
