SUMMARY:Zine Workshop - An Open Library with Ellen Welsh
DESCRIPTION:ZINE WORKSHOP with artist and zinemaker Ellen Welsh \n…an Open Library event at The Women Artists of the North East Library on Saturday 26th May 1-4pm. \nAnybody can make a zine! This workshop offers an introduction to making zines – absolute beginners and seasoned zinesters equally welcome. \nWHAT’S A ZINE?\nA zine (/ziːn/ ZEEN;) is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images\, usually reproduced via photocopier. Zines are either the product of a single person or of a very small group and are popularly photocopied into physical prints for circulation.\nWHY MAKE A ZINE?\nAs with other kinds of artworks\, zines offer an accessible way to express appreciation\, affection\, anger\, sadness\, and catharsis. Or they can be made just Because. Zines have often been a medium for marginalised voices; an important tool for expressing stories and identities that rejects\, or are rejected by\, mainstream society.\nWHAT’S THIS WORKSHOP ABOUT?\nWe will be looking at the artist’s own zines\, which often form part of her artistic practice\, and her sources of inspiration for these. We will be having a chat about the history and different kinds of zines you can find in the world (fanzines\, art zines\, political zines\, queer zines\, perzines etc.)\nBut most of all we will be learning how to make your own zine\, and how to reproduce it. The workshop will be a relaxed space to learn and experiment with different techniques such as collage\, drawing\, writing\, sewing\, and putting together different sizes and formats of zines! The focus of this workshop will be DIY cut-and-paste zine making\, rather than digital techniques.\nInformation will also be available on how to reproduce\, bind\, and distribute your zines. \nMaterials will be provided\, but please feel free to bring anything additional you would like to use\, such as paper\, scissors\, stickers\, tape\, books\, magazines etc. \nCome and have a flick through some zines\, try your hand at making your own\, or just soak up the cut-n-paste vibes of the afternoon. \nEllen Welsh \nEllen Welsh is a recent fine art graduate from Newcastle University and studio member at The Newbridge Project\, Gateshead. Blurring the line between zines and artists’ books\, she uses text and image and often invites the viewer to handle her work. Taking inspiration from confessional perzines of the 1990s such as Doris\, she aims to cultivate an intimacy between the maker and the viewer. She hopes to express something about memory\, nostalgia\, temporality and diaristic experience to whoever is looking at her art.\nEllen is currently working on Issue 3 of her zine ‘Sapphic’ – a collaborative zine which pulls together writing and artwork by bisexual\, lesbian and queer women in order to affirm solidarity between these groups\, and the importance of queer spaces and story-telling. \nLinks to more of Ellen’s work:\nArtist blog: https://ellenwelsh.wordpress.com/\nShop & website: https://www.etsy.com/shop/letterstoanisland

SUMMARY:Northwest Zinefest 2018

It’s going to be on Sunday May 6th\, so get it pencilled in your diaries (or wherever you keep track of your appointments) now. \nWe’re planning to have about 40 tables selling ace zines made by ace people. You could even be one of those ace people – applications for stalls are open NOW. Just go here to find out more about the application process: https://northwestzinefest.wordpress.com/ \nThis year we’re trying something new to make things easier for people who identify as either LBGTQIA and/or have other accessibility barriers which make paying for a table a barrier to being a stallholder. Check out the application form for info on how to claim a free half table at the zinefest. Thanks very much to those people who have donated money to Salford Zine Library and made this scheme possible! \nEntry to Northwest Zinefest is free and we’ll also have a whole programme of talks and workshops for you to enjoy.
