Intro to Zines & Self-Publishing Workshop

24. May 2014 @ 14:00 - 17:00

€10

An introduction to Zines and DIY self-publishing techniques with a copy machine

From the word “magazine”, a ZINE is a small photocopied publication that you can create yourself: you are the writer, the editor, the publisher. Each of us has a voice, and it is important for us to share our experiences; writing zines is a very accessible medium for doing just that.

Together in this workshop, we will learn all about what zines are, how they can be used, and why they are an important media of expression for both personal and political use.

We will review how to organise zine pages into a layout, photocopying tricks, discuss zine communities and distribution channels, and have some crafty fun at the end. After a presentation there will be time to read, ask questions and get creative in a casual way by making a compilation zine.

Host Halley will bring a small zine-library for browsing, pens, paper, a typewriter, glue, and a collage box to have fun with. Feel free to bring your favourite pens, images, old magazines or anything else you could like to cut and paste. After the workshop everyone will receive a photocopy of the group compilation zine.

Date: Saturday 24 May 2014, from 2pm – 5pm
