Zines

Special guest workshop leaders, Cosmo and Morris, came to talk about their passion for book binding and zine making. Focusing on their interests in storytelling, pirates and typewriters! 

The group divided into two to learn different zine making techniques. The first a simple folded paper version, quick and effective for collating all your thoughts and images of whatever you're passionate about - dogs, super heroes.

The second technique, more challenging, Japanese book binding, involves sewing the book cover and it's pages together. We all rose to the occasion and completed a set of books which we have filled with sketches and thoughts on various topics from tennis to wildlife.
