Mini Book Making Family Workshop
In this workshop participants of all ages are invited to explore creating zines, mini magazine or books. Eve will introduce the history of zine-making and printing by empowering participants to create, select their own message, materials, and eventual replication.
This workshop encourages critical thinking from each participant as their art in the age of mechanical (or digital!) reproduction is often a given. How will you adapt to errors made by hand? Will these be reproduced for authenticity, or redone to encourage professionalism? And what will you draw, write, or create on only eight pages?
