Zine Making for Beginners (Friday 6-8pm)
FALL SESSION: OCTOBER 14-DECEMBER 8
(No classes the week of Thanksgiving)
Class Description:
Making and sharing zines can be a daunting space to jump into, but it is actually easier than ever to start publishing your own DIY zine projects. Using publicly accessible tools, free and easy to learn software, and a little bit of elbow grease, anyone with the drive to put their ideas between two covers can create accessible and impactful zines. Along with practical zine-making skills we will explore strategies for publishing and marketing zines. Zine Making for Beginners will kickstart any hopeful zinemaker’s self-publishing journey through a plethora of physical examples, hands-on demonstrations and walkthroughs, and constructive group critiques.
Teacher Info:
Evan Patrick Maloney is an artist, writer, and photographer (in no particular order). He holds a degree in photography from Rochester Institute of Technology and has worked in photolabs and galleries across the country. His work is centered around place and stories of place, expressed through text and images that investigate, analyze, and sometimes poke fun at local history and culture. He uses inexpensive and commonplace printing materials (such as laser printers and index cards) and hand-made books to express these ideas in accessible and novel forms, while still holding himself and his work to fine-art printmaking standards. Evan strives, through his work, to tell interesting visual and narrative stories about the place he shares with his neighbors, and to share that work with those neighbors at every opportunity.
