Zine Jam with Elvis & Jan

---

Zine Jam is for everyone—recommended for ages 5 and up— the event is hosted by our friends at Old Stone House, situated at the center of Washington Park/JJ Byrne Playground in Park Slope, Brooklyn. This is a free, drop-in class and is held outside. It is facilitated by Elvis and Jan, two seasoned zine creators and educators who always bring their enthusiasm for the medium. Through visual, tactile, and writing prompts everyone can create their own one-sheet zine. You can even scan and print copies to share with family and friends.

Come jam with us at these times:
