"Making a Zine" with James Burke 

"Making a Zine"

with James Luke Burke

Friday, August 10th

$115

A zine, short for "magazine" or "fanzine", is essentially a mini art journal. Typically created on a folded sheet of paper, the 8-page zine can be easily reproduced in a photocopier, making them the perfect little journal to share amongst creative friends. Together, we will create zines following a particular narrative thread and employ techniques such as collage, illustration and journaling. Starting with the same template and the same mission, through guidance, we will pull personal references to achieve uniquely individual zines. Zines can be as sleek and as minimal as you want, or extravagantly packed full of everything you enjoy (which is what I tend to prefer...)

In this workshop you will be provided with a jlbCREATIVE "CLASS COMPANION - making a zine" booklet for reference. These are a workshop exclusive that detail templates we might use in class, collage pieces for you to cut out and use, as well as information you might want to refer back to once the workshop is complete and you're creating back at home.
