Learn how to make a zine with the library!
A zine (/ziːn/ ZEEN; short for magazine or fanzine) is usually a non-commercial, non-professional publication, kind of like a magazine but with a twist. The main difference between a magazine and a zine is that zines are not out there to make a profit but, rather, to add other, often unheard voices into the mix. Zines are usually made out of interest and passion and are often self-published by the writer/artist/creator. Typically zines are made using collage techniques and are then photocopied since these are means available to almost everyone. (Art Gallery of Ontario)
We'll share the history of zines, show examples, and teach participants various ways to make simple zines. We will have lots of fun supplies, including paper, washi tape, scissors, glue, photos, photocopier, and more available.
Adults and teens are welcome to attend!
Conveniently located downtown, the Squamish Public Library has a large meeting room, quiet study spaces, an outdoor pickup window, and an art gallery.
