Hosted by prolific Penge-based zinesters (yes, that's a word) Colossive Press, this masterclass will suit anyone with a point to make or a story to tell – which is EVERYONE, right?
A mainstay of DIY culture, zines are tiny, home-made booklets featuring words, pictures or a combination of the two. The world of zines has no rules, no gatekeepers and no limits.
Using their Colossive Manifesto as guidance, Jane and Tom will explain why zines are the perfect way to get your message out there. You'll also learn how to turn a blank sheet of A4 into a tiny work of wonder – from a simple eight-pager to a pop-up Turkish map-fold.
Come away enthused, inspired and with a zine or two of your own already in the bag!
Suitable for age group 14 - 104.
