Scrappy Zine Club/ Analog Marketing (Green Creatives Academy Session 3)

This is a beginner class
Ever wanted to publish print media of your own? Had an important message you needed to circulate, make comics, or document prrojects in cool creative ways?

Zines (pronounced ZEENs) are small self published, often DIY booklets or magazines, born out of subcultures like science fiction and punk music, with a history of sharing very human information.

Did you know zines have a long and radical history, especially here in Atlanta?

Join our scrappy zine club to find out this and build community around playing with paper.

We’ll be exploring, collage, paper folding techniques, binding, and materials to make one of a kind (or an army of ) zines!

Skills taught:

• Techniques of constructing zines
• Basic collaging
• DIY Binding techniques
• Layout and design
• Tips for digital design
• More

We have craft supplies available to all participants. We will have paper, magazines, prints, stamps, markers, scissors, glue, etc.

we will have access to a photocopier/printer at Scraplet, so bring any original artwork, text, custom printed materials you may need.

Feel free to also bring a computer to collaborate or learn some tips on making zines digitally.
