Similar to textile practices such as quilting and soft sculpture, where fragments of fabric are painstakingly assembled to create lasting and resilient forms of communication; the construction of zines are also piecemeal and laborious, and the hand of the maker is clear to its viewer. Through mixed-media processes, zine creators are in charge of the layout, content, and distribution of the zines they make.

The teaching artist will demonstrate how to create both a one-sheet zine, as well as a booklet zine, and each participant can choose which format they prefer. Zines are ways to tell and share…
