Zines are self-made small magazines, often with one specific theme. It's all about manual design - no digital tools in the zine-making process! In this course of two evenings, we make two of these zines. Storytelling (how to tell stories with images) is key!

The first evening we will work together and combine our drawings to create several zines. During this collaboration, you experience the power of associations - different for everyone - and the combination of word and image. You feel how words trigger your imagination - and the other way round!

The second evening we work on your very own personal zine, with its own storyline. With recurring visual elements, you create a strong and coherent zine in a short time.

We work with simple tools such as (coloured) pencil, marker and paper.

Practical

It is best to bring your own apron or working shirt to protect your clothes. All the material will be provided and is included in the course fee. This class is taught in English.

Level of experience

Level 2: you need some drawing experience to participate - not suited for absolute beginners! You enjoy drawing freely and from your own imagination.
