After the success of our first workshop, we're giving everyone another chance to come along and get stuck in with making zines! 

What are zines and why should I make one? 

Zine [pronounced ‘zeen’] is short for magazine. Zines are small self-published works. They can be anything! Drawings, photos, comics, stuff about your favourite show, how your day has gone, or things you are passionate about changing. It can be about whatever you want it to be.  

Encouraging students to come to the workshop and try their hand at making a zine, Library staff member Liz said: “Sometimes people worry that they aren't creative, but everyone is creative! That’s the great thing about zines – there are no judges, no marks or grades, no rules. Whatever you make is unique to you and whatever you want it to be.

A group of students sit at a table covered with zine-making materials.

“We held the first zine-making workshop on World Mental Health Day in October. Now it’s Disability History Month, and as we approach the exam season it’s time to be more mindful of our mental health and wellbeing. Doing something creative and positive, just for fun, can be a great way to de-stress.”

At the previous workshop in October, friendly faces from the Library team guided our makers through creating their own zines starting with just a blank sheet of paper. 

If you want to give zine-making a go, join us in the Library between 2 and 4pm on Tuesday 26 November. You don't need to book a space and we'll provide everything you'll need.
