Fun with Author Dan Rau & The Bookmobile!
Starting with cave paintings and hieroglyphics, humans have used both art and writing to tell stories. In this fun, interactive family activity, children’s author and illustrator Dana Rau will guide you through how to make a Zine, a DIY magazine that is part personal, part collaboration, part poetry, part art, and all cool! Every participant will leave with their very own Zine to keep the creativity going.

Added bonus: the Read to Grow Bookmobile will be on-site from 10am to 3pm for kids to explore books and find one to bring home!

AMP’s Family Days are supported by the generosity of the Comis Foundation and Torrington Savings Bank. The Teen Art Studio is made possible in part by Torrington Savings Bank Foundation.
