Join METRO and Zine Educator Emma Karin Eriksson for an afternoon of zine-making and snacking in the sunshine. Emma Karin will teach you the basic one-page fold technique to create a mini-zine from a single sheet of 8.5" x 11" piece of paper. There will be prompts and supplies on hand for you to use to create your own unique zine. Emma Karin will also provide tips and tricks you can use to teach zine-making to your patrons and colleagues. There will also be supplies for you to contribute to the new collaborative zine From the Stacks: Stories and Snippets of Wisdom from NYC Information Workers.
We will provide all zine making materials, but feel free to bring any stickers, stamps, washi tape, bits of wrapping paper, old magazines, discarded books, and anything else you might like to use in your zine.
The workshop will take place outdoors in Prospect Park, near the Prospect Park/Parkside Avenue B/Q subway stations. While there may be some benches, we cannot guarantee a seat to everyone, so please bring something to sit on if you would like (picnic blanket, portable chair, etc.). We will have some surfaces to lean on but encourage you to bring a clipboard, sketch book, or other hard surface to work on.
METRO will provide some light snacks and beverages, but please feel free to bring your own.
NOTE: In case of inclement weather, we will meet on the rain date, Sunday, August 4th from 11:00am to 1:00pm.
