At its simplest, a tiny folded book can be made with one sheet of paper, a pair of scissors, and a pen. Once the basic form is mastered, the possibilities are endless..
What is a zine? Short for fanzine, these photocopied booklets were once small magazines devoted to a certain subject. Over the years, book artists and zinesters have exploded the realm of possibility, creating everything from books of basic instruction to complicated art books.
In this virtual workshop, learn how to make a one-sheet book and explore examples. Then, create one-of-a-kind books that can be photocopied and shared (or traded in true zine fashion). Practice making images through collage, layering found images with added text through a variety of methods. Come away with at least three original zines to copy and share with other participants, including a transparent zine!
Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome.
Certificate: 3 hours, Category A or D
