Create a Photo Zine and Get Your Work Out Into the World!
A photo zine is most often a hand-made, self-published book that is easy and inexpensive to create using simple techniques and materials. Zines offer exciting potential as an outlet for creative expression—and a democratized platform that can help get your work out into the world. Planning on publishing a photo book? Start by making a photo zine as a low-cost way to explore your creative options while learning about the bookmaking process.
In this workshop, creators at all skill levels will:
-Take a tour of the zine universe, so that we can explore what’s possible
-Review and critique zines made by established and emerging contemporary photographic artists
- Learn the basics of layout, construction, and binding a photo zine
-Discover ways to reinvigorate your stalled or unfinished bodies of work in a contemporary style
-Explore printing and publishing options for your zines, including using your home printer or commercial service
- Learn how distribute and sell your zines, to get them out into the world
