Zines! is a whirlwind hands-on workshop focused on the history, culture, and practice of zine making. Zines are a form of self-expression and documentation created through a do-it-yourself approach to bookmaking.
Instructor Raphael Villet will guide students through various zine-making processes including: design theory, printing, editing, and binding. Learn what zines can offer photographers, writers, and visual artists.
Bring to the class: photos, poems, writing, visual artwork, and "tensions/dreams/desires." A photocopier will be provided. Be prepared to dissect, re-arrange, map, and play!
