Event description
Zine Making Workshop with Sticky Institute
(Pronounced Zeen. Short for fanzine/magazine)
A Zine is a cheap print run of a hand-made publication. You can make a Zine about your loves, loathes and other heartfelt opinions that are important to you. You can write, paste, Illustrate, stamp, collage or any other technique to make your zine and for the small print run you use a photocopier. Sticky Institute is the hub for Zine makers in Melbourne Sticky Institute. Their diverse community is made up of writers, artists, illustrators, poets, graphic designers, graphic novelists, and anyone who has the need for creative communication in a non-mainstream environment. Alex and Helen from Sticky will be facilitating this session for the Port Fairy Winter Weekends at the Port Fairy Library. Come and enjoy 2 hours of personal creativity and discover Zines! All materials will be provided and the use of the photocopier.
What will the program cover:
The good bit!
Start a story in the middle and build a zine around it. Rearrange plots to tell different stories. How did we get here and where do we go? Start at the good bit and figure out the rest.
8 pagers
The thrill of a pocket-sized zine about your loves, loathes and other heartfelt opinions. Sick of repeating yourself and wish you could hand someone an explainer of a story you've told a hundred times before? This is the format for you! Photocopy it and give it to people to bypass conversational reruns.
