An Oswestry Zine - February half term activity 
We are holding a week of free workshops at Oswestry Library for 12-18 year olds with the aim of producing a zine about Oswestry, as part of the Love Oswestry events around the town.  Every morning we will be working on the zine (led by Meg Elliot, History of Art graduate and producer of Scafe zine) and every afternoon there will be a workshop led by a local artist on a particular skill including printing, creative writing and producing a comic strip.  Friday's workshop will be called Imagine Oswestry and will look at how the group would like to see Oswestry develop in the future, for young people.  We are looking for a group of 10 students to produce the zine.  The afternoon workshops will be open to anyone.   

All bookings can be made at the library.  Oswestry.library@shropshire.gov.uk or 01743 250351
