Join us to Make Your Research Pop as a Zine! An Introduction to Zine Creation workshop!
During the workshop session, librarian Paulina Rousseau will introduce participants to zine-making methods including the no-staple zine technique which allows creators to produce an eight-page or sixteen-page mini-zine with minimal materials. Participants will also learn how to storyboard their research project and turn it into a zine that can be easily reproduced and shared with others.
During this workshop, students will get a brief overview of the history of zines and will learn how to construct two types of zines:
- An 8 panel, single page zine using an 8.5” x 11” sheet
- A 16-panel single page zine using a 11” x 17” sheet
Participants can submit their zines which shares their research into our friendly competition, up to two weeks after the workshop, between March 11th – 25th. The library will also include a copy of the zine in their collection, with permission from the participants.
First prize: $100 in Tbucks; Second Prize: $75 in Tbucks; Third Prize: $50 in Tbucks
Participants will:
- Understand the basics of what a zine is and how it can be used to share your research information out
- Practice translating your research project into a zine format through some basic story boarding
- Gain experience making an eight-panel single page (8.5” x 11”) zine from start to finish and will become familiar with other potential zine formats including a single page (11” x 17”) sixteen panel zine and a staple-stitch zine.
- Gain familiarity with various genres and methods in zine making
The workshop will be hosted in the Student Lounge, from 12:00 p.m. to 2: 00 p.m.
