Have you ever been at a loss for words to explain what it’s like being a parent or a caregiver? Join Zine Fest Houston and Designing Motherhood artist Madeline Donahue for a unique workshop exploring the art of self-portraiture through the lens of parenthood to create a drawing of yourself that celebrates the rich complexity of that identity.
Explore Madeline’s work in Designing Motherhood and learn more about her journey as an artist mother. Then, unlock your creativity with drawing exercises to connect to your experiences and emotions around caregiving. Enjoy good company and conversation as you create a self-portrait that expresses your own unique identity as a parent, using art materials like colored pencils, pens, and markers.
Towards the end of the workshop, all drawings will be scanned and turned into a zine that participants will be able to take home with them on the same day!
Note: The workshop takes place in person and inside the HCCC building. Space is limited to a maximum of 15 participants.
