Thursday, June 11

6-8pm

Zelda Dearest Hotel

150 South Lexington Avenue

Asheville, NC 28801

You and your friends are invited to write your own stories and make your own marks by way of creating bookmarks & zines at the gorgeous and intimate Wine & Roses Parlor Bar inside Zelda Dearest Hotel. When you arrive you may sidle up to the Parlor Bar and order your favorite drink and then sashay your way over to the art materials buffet Miranda has lovingly curated for you. There will be plenty of unique and dazzling materials to create one of a kind bookmarks and zines. These little art gems will be wonderful gifts or keepsakes. Miranda will provide gentle, creative guidance along the way as you enjoy an evening of relaxation, celebration and art making together.

What is a zine? A zine is a little self-published booklet often telling a story, offering step-by-step DIY instructions, or documenting an event. There are no rules for the content. Often times zines are created on very simple paper with simple materials and then photocopied to be distributed. Think mini magazine that you create!

Art is for Everyone!

Creating art playfully and without judgment lets us forget about being perfect. It opens room for self-reflection, connecting with others, and simply enjoying the process. Further more, making art together in a judgment-free space challenges ideas of what art “should be,” sparking conversations that build understanding and kindness. This open approach celebrates different viewpoints, since everyone’s background, experiences, and culture shape their art uniquely.
