Have you been wanting to make zines, but not sure where to start? Then this intro class in zine making might be for you!

Zines are a fun and fast way to collect your thoughts, images and interests into a physical object you can trade, gift or sell. It doesn't take much to make a great zine, but knowing a few tricks can certainly make it easier. Over the course of three evenings you will learn simple and inventive methods for zine making, for instance the many methods for one page zines, as well as receive support in designing, writing and/or drawing your zine. Rakel will also be bringing her private zine collection for students to leaf through for inspiration, and will be sharing about her experience with DIY publishing in Europe and North America.

All materials are provided.

Parking: Please park on either Iwo Jima Lane or Cedar Street. Parking that is located in front of the Neighborhood Print Studio are for residents living in the Pajama Factory.

Ages 16+

Students will be introduced to various methods of screen printing, including monoprint silkscreen, printing without the use of emulsion, and designing a print completely analogue. This course is intended as an introduction to rudimentary screen print, and focuses on play and experimentation over mastery. Each of the three classes will focus on a new technique, and participants will be encouraged to collaborate, take risks and try new things as a way to utilize screen print as a method to explore shape and color, rather than realizing figurative preplanned prints. This course is for anyone, and is particularly good for someone who wants to print and is looking for new ways to explore and play with the media. All prints will be done on paper.

All materials are provided.

Parking: Please park on either Iwo Jima Lane or Cedar Street. Parking that is located in front of the Neighborhood Print Studio are for residents living in the Pajama Factory.
