Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this bookbinding class:

Zines offer an opportunity to put into the hands of the producer the power to tell their own story. This one day zine-making session is intended to act as an approachable workshop that touches upon important historical and theoretical aspects of zine-making and zine culture. With an emphasis on the conceptual and critical language of zines, culminating in taking practical steps to create your own zines, this workshop is aimed at both teenagers and adults with a desire to learn the basics for creating their own tangible self-published works.

To make a zine is to create a very personal experience, with its physicality encouraging proximity to the work. During this workshop, students will consider visual flow, question how images can complement or detract from one another, experiment with layout and sequencing content in varying size, number, and spatial layouts, while developing a narrative and having a clear outcome for their work and how they wish to tell their story. Participants are encouraged to think about the zine as intriguing vessels for reinterpreting and remixing image-making from which we may communicate both clear and organized information as well as experimental forms of expression. Using simple tools such as a bone folder, scissors, a blade, needle and thread, and a stapler – at the end of this workshop, the participants know the basics of how to fold, collate, and bind with various rudimentary techniques allowing them to take mockups and maquettes to be replicated for a future of zine-making explorations in their own practice.
