Creativity + everyday materials +
photocopier = ZINE! A zine is like a magazine, but its content is
only limited by your imagination. We’ll experiment with several
exercises – some silly, some serious – merging art and writing to
jog the mind and fill the pages. We’ll discuss how to generate
content, design pages, and produce and distribute zines. You’ll
leave with a copy of a collaborative zine and ideas for starting your
next one!
