Dive into the hidden world of ponds and bring your discoveries to life through zine-making! The workshop will start with an interactive exploration of pond life, exploring up-close the incredible creatures that call these waters home. Using techniques such as collage, printing, and painting, you will then turn your scientific observations into creative expression by making your own zine or small art journals.
