This is an in-person workshop. All students and the instructor must show proof of vaccination against Covid-19 and agree to wear a mask for the duration of the class unless otherwise announced by SFCB. If you choose to complete the registration process you are agreeing to these terms.

At its simplest, this tiny folded book can be made with one sheet of paper, a pair of scissors and a pen. Once we master the basic form, the possibilities are endless. The class will start by examining examples and learning the structure. Then drawing, collages, and other materials and techniques (all provided) will be used to create one-of-a-kind books that can be photocopied and traded in true zine fashion.

What is a zine? Short for fanzine, these photocopied booklets were once small magazines devoted to a certain subject. In recent years, book artists and zinesters have exploded the realm of possibility creating everything from books of basic instruction to complicated art books. We will start with a basic form, learn a variation and decide on a theme together for our mini-series.  Experimentation is always encouraged.

Materials to Bring: None.

Workshop Fee (includes $5 materials fee): $90.00
