Wellington Zinefest presents Summer Blessing: a full day of creativity to manifest a season of inspiration and abundance.
Summer Blessing is our last event of the year, a pagan / solstice / folk-themed day of workshops and a zine market.
Come along from 10am to take part in our creation stations. You can learn to press flowers, make badges, screen print and harness the power of the sun with cyanotype. These sessions are low key, no reservations and they’ll be running simultaneously.
At 1.00 as the sun is high we will have a small market where you can swap and buy zines, art and spells from local zine makers, get your image in ink from Arden and pull a card or two.
Our market runs until 5.
We welcome you with open sketchbooks and invite you to bring your best energy as we respectfully nod to the celestial factors that keep our ball of dirt spinning.
Feel free to wear your special occasion robes and BYO drinks, runes, tarot cards and talismans.
