In this workshop you will be guided in making a classic cut and fold 8-page zine from a standard A4 sheet of paper - this is a clever design you can easily photocopy and reproduce later! You will be introduced to a range of techniques and approaches such as cut and paste photos and text, collage and drawing on paper.
If you’re keen to make more zines and share them with the world, there's a broad and growing community of Zine-makers and traders, as well as the well-attended annual Wellington Zinefest!
Paper, newspapers, magazines and basic drawing materials will be provided. We recommend you bring along a sketch book and any favourite drawing materials, newspapers, magazines or other interesting paper material to cut up and collage with in class.
Tea and coffee provided, please bring your lunch.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
Cut and fold a classic 8-page zine format from a single sheet of paper
Brainstorm content ideas for your personalised zine publications
Arrange & compose text and images to fit a classic 8-page zine layout
Combine cut & paste magazine content with hand drawn/ written content
Create a draft zine of your personal interests
