ZINE MAKING WORKSHOP
The WTS Zine Fair approaches. Join our preparatory session to make your first, next, or ultimate zine alongside others at this workshop. All welcome, some materials provided but pls also BYO, e.g. sketchbook, paper (for printing also, recycling encouraged), pencils, pens, computers etc.
Our photocopier, “Big Ric”, and other facilities (long arm stapler, guillotine, etc) will be available. Printing is cheap; and did you know WTS members get a print/copy budget free with their annual membership?
Anyone can (should?) make a zine. A zine is an inherently political tool of self-expression, representing a format fit for small-circulation and reproduction of ideas and images that challenge dominant narratives and domineering modes of publishing and distribution.
It can be a self-published story, comic, poster, single-page drawing, open letter, photo journal, flip book, brochure, postcard, sticker, manifesto or any little paper thing you can hold in your hand. The model for making is DIY and you don’t need any experience as a writer, artist or human being.
Already have a zine to put in the fair? Fill out this form, where you can apply for your own table to cover with as many zines as you like, or register to get them on the collective table (and get you paid for sales). You’ll then just need to drop them to WTS anytime/day during opening hours before 10am on the Fair day.
