Teen Art Lab: Zine Making with Cole Pauls
March 19, 2026, 2–5:30 PM (during Spring Break)
Open to all youth aged 13–19. No prior experience needed.
Free with registration. Limited space. All materials provided.
In this Spring Break workshop, Cole shows you how to tell a story with only eight drawings, folded into a small booklet to make a zine. Using Burnaby Mountain as an inspirational starting point, your story will relate to your personal experience with the mountain.
First you'll brainstorm ideas and make a rough draft of your sequence of drawings, and then work on your good copy, all in the company of other artists your age that you can share ideas with.
By the end of this workshop, you'll leave with five fresh copies of your zine — printed, folded, and ready to share with your friends. You'll also have your original art so that you can photocopy as many copies of your zine as the world can handle!
Adults are welcome to hang out on the couches by the fireplace in the Gibson’s Salon.
Please note: Upon registering, a parent or guardian will need to sign a consent form on behalf of their teen.
If this event is full, please add yourself to the waitlist. If there's enough interest, a second workshop will be opened up, and will run on Thursday, March 19 from 10am to 1:30pm.
Generously supported by the Tuey Charitable Foundation, the Deux Mille Foundation, and Friends of the Gibson.
