Donations

Where are proceeds from sales being donated?

Presently sales are supporting the lovely folks at Paperhouse Studio!

Paperhouse Studio is an experimental arts studio rooted in paper as the medium. They offer educational programs, artist projects, and community-based youth initiatives. Their ZIPE program encourages 2SLGBTQIAP, Deaf, Mad, disabled and BIPOC youth to bring issues they care about to the forefront — exploring identity, community, and advocacy against systemic barriers and oppression. You can also donate directly via e-transfer to: info@paperhousestudio.com 

How much is being donated?

20% of each item is donated to local, community-focused arts spaces in Scarborough and Toronto. 

Payments are sent monthly or after reaching a total of $50+.

Percentages are based on the price of each item after platform fees and taxes have been subtracted.

Pricing

What is pay-what-you-can pricing?

Some items are given several price options to allow customers the flexibility to pay what they choose. Your purchase is never affected by how much you choose to pay. (-:

Products

Where can I find the Digital Zine I bought?

There should have been a link after you checked out and an email sent to you with links! If you didn't receive or see these, please message me at hello@localkristine.com!! This function is currently carried out by Shopify's Digital Downloads app but if it isn't working I'll seek another solution. (-:

Can I print the Digital Zine PDF I purchased?

Yes! You may print the PDFs for personal use only. As the original folding templates are not included for zines, printing these may differ from the handmade, physical versions. These are not approved for resale.
