Have you ever wanted to create your own zine? In this workshop, artist and instructor Andreas Laszlo Konrath will teach you all you need to know to plan, craft, and design your own zines, while touching upon the historical and theoretical aspects of zine-culture. If you have an interest in art-making and photography and want to learn how to self-publish your work - then this is the place for you!
So what is a “Zine?” Zine-making began as an independent art form for marginalized voices, by-passing traditional publishing methods, disseminating information and publishing creative work about things they love. A zine is commonly a small publication of bricolage works featuring appropriated images, texts, poems, etc, circulated to a small group with a common interest, or representing a particular voice. Here are a few examples of what you can do with your unique zine art:
· Publish photography, drawings, and mini-comics
· Mix words with images and textures
· Print lines of poetry
· Share a manifesto
· Match recipes with whimsical illustrations
…the list goes on. What you can include in and do within your zine is only limited by your imagination.
Using an iPhone or iPad, each participant will work to combine photographs, text, and found imagery into a unique publication to be printed and bound. At the end of the workshop, the zines are yours to keep and even share!
