PRINTMAKING: ZINES

  • Artelier at the Paint Spot (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

A Collaborative Zine Project for beginner and intermediate printmakers!

Looking for something fun and different to try? Block printing is a unique art form that has been used for centuries to make multiple impressions of a drawing. It creates bold, graphic images and is perfect for making zines: handmade booklets that share thoughts and images on a specific idea.

In this 3-part class we’ll work together to create our own local zine. In the first week, we’ll decide on a theme as a group, do some research, and start designing our individual contributions. In the second week, we’ll learn how to transfer our designs to the blocks and carve them out. In the third week, we’ll learn how to print multiple copies of our designs and assemble them into booklets. Everyone will go home with copies of the booklet to keep or share with friends. Take advantage of this unique collaborative opportunity and come play with us!
