Calling all zine lovers and creative enthusiasts! Join me for a hands-on experience where you'll create your own 8-page folded zine from start to finish. Whether you're a seasoned zine maker or a complete beginner, this workshop is designed to accommodate all skill levels.
During the workshop, we'll explore the fundamentals of zine construction, including layout and content creation. You'll be free to express your creativity and make a zine on any topic that inspires you.
Once your zine is complete, we'll take it a step further by printing 20 copies on the Riso. You'll choose any 2 of the available colours, scanning your masters and swapping out the colour drums. After printing it's time to assemble. You'll be given a step-by-step guide on how to properly cut and fold your zines.
