You will learn everything you need to bring your zine/print dream...

"Wonderful one-night stay in a former army family apartment in Fort Worden State Park. Spacious spaces, clean rooms and amenities in simple surroundings. The bonus: a family of deer in the backyard. Jazz Festival and workshops throughout the park while we were there."
