Miniature Zines

Miniature zines are cute, they fit in your pocket, and they are inexpensive books that are easy to share and distribute. Made from one sheet of 8 ½” x 11” copy paper, miniature zines condense your ideas into digestible pages. This workshop will include demonstrations on how to layout a miniature zine by hand using simple collage techniques, how to print double-sided on a B&W copier, and how to bind your zines. At the end of this workshop, you will have your own pocket-sized zines to share with family and friends.
