Learn to share your ideas and produce your own zines with exhibiting artist Darren Bryant. Zines are a form of independent media, originating from the basic need to develop quick, affordable and alternative forms of communication and information-sharing. They are created and distributed by the creator (or creators), driven by passion rather than profit, and produced cheaply. They can be photocopied or printed; small or large; typed or hand-drawn; and on any subject that the creator cares about. Zines also offer a straightforward, quick, and accessible way to create and share artist’s work, as well as to plan or draft a mock-up for a more complex artist’s book.
In this workshop, participants will be guided through the steps to create and produce their own zine to share stories, ideas and/or artworks that are important to them.
Darren Bryant is a Northern Rivers-based visual artist and academic. He is a lecturer in Art and Design at Southern Cross University, with a specialisation in drawing, print media, papermaking, artist books and multiples.
