***

Instant Zines! are a versatile, one page zine that can be made with minimal materials, and, if desired, copied and shared!

At its simplest, this tiny folded book can be made with one sheet of paper, a pair of scissors and a pen. Once we master the basic form, the possibilities are endless. We will start by examining many examples and learning the structure. Then we will use drawing, collages, and other materials (all provided) to create one-of-a-kind books that can be photocopied and shared (or traded in true zine fashion).

What is a zine? Short for fanzine, these photocopied booklets were once small magazines devoted to a certain subject. In the past years, book artists and zinesters have exploded the realm of possibility creating everything from books of basic instruction to complicated art books.

Participants will have the option to make copies of their zines and trade with other participants.

The suggested fee for this class is $10-50,

no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Payments will be take via venmo or paypal only.
