Community Studios

This studio explores how to write powerful villains and morally complex characters by focusing on belief, motivation and internal logic rather than simple “good vs. evil.” Participants will learn how antagonists mirror the hero, challenge their beliefs, and create deeper, more meaningful conflict. By the end, they’ll be able to craft layered villains whose perspectives feel real, compelling, and impossible to ignore.

In this community studio, participants will explore the DIY Publishing world and how to distribute their zines through zine fairs, consignment, art boxes and more! (plus the freedom of binding and sharing your zines in cool shapes!)
