Bottle Cap Magnets

Join us for this simple but wildly satisfying craft project that turns bottle caps into fun and colorful magnets! Make some for yourself, your friends, maybe some strangers? All supplies and snacks will be provided in the MakerSpace area of the Innovation Lab on the 2nd floor! Meriam Library will be hosting a craft project every month in the MakerSpace as part of our Innov8 programming. Stay tuned for more fun and creative events!

Zine Workshop

Whatcha mean? What’s a zine? A zine (short for fanzine) is a small, handmade, often counter-culture folded booklet that can express a message or share information about a topic (or whatever you want). In this workshop, and with the help of the Art and Art History Department, we'll teach you about zines and then help you create your own! Supplies and snacks will be provided.
