Zine Making with artist Etain O'Carroll

Explore mark-making and origami in this workshop where you’ll learn how to combine two traditional techniques to create a paper zine. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll use found tools, painting, drawing and collage to create beauty, depth and texture and create your very own zine.

The morning will start with simple mark-making exercises with found materials to warm up and these will then be extended, adapted and enhanced to create a simple one-page zine. Once complete, you may have time to work on a more complex folding techniques from a variety of available templates to create a zine that can easily be adapted to create narrative storylines or become distinctive artist books.

Come with an idea you wish to pursue or use some of our prompt cards and templates to create something unexpected.
