Saturday 18th November @10am-4pm

Zines (spelt like ZINE but pronounced like ZEEN taken from the word “magazine”) are self-published non-profit publications with a history rooted in DIY cultures.

During this Intermediate Riso Zine Making workshop we will tackle a more complex zine technique producing a bound A5 sized Zine that will be 12 pages plus the cover. We recommend that you have completed our Beginners Riso Poster Workshop OR our Beginners Riso Zine Making Workshop before taking this class. In this hands-on session we will introduce students to a short history of zine making whilst taking a look at various examples from our Goose Studio Zine Library. 

 If you have an interest in illustration, books, storytelling or journaling this workshop is for you. Whether you have an idea in mind for creating your own zine or not we will assist you with a series of zine prompts to get you started. The workshop covers the basics of zine making including conception/design/printing & binding. We will be printing our zines on the Risograph using 2 separate colours/layers. We will be creating handmade stencils using experimental mark-making, text and collage techniques* each person will leave with an edition of 10 x 2x colour/layer A5 size 12 page booklet zines.

We are very excited to team up with Faversham artisan bookbinder Hope Fitzgerald from Bindfulness Handmade Books in this Intermediate Riso Zine Making Workshop. Hope will share simple and effective bookbinding techniques to guide us through the folding, piercing & hand sewing of our 12 page Riso Printed Zine.

All materials included.

*If you are competent using the Adobe suite (illustrator, indesign,photoshop) and would prefer to create your stencils digitally you can join this class - however there will be no teaching or assistance with creating your artwork digitally - we will just provide the spec to format your files ready for printing.
