Create Your First Zine This Year! A 2-Session Workshop to Learn ZINE-Making from Scratch
19:00–21:00"I want to make a ZINE, but don't know where to start." This two-session workshop was created for beginners in response to that kind of feedback. Session 1: Planning ✍️ We'll start by generating ideas and shaping them into a single issue. Session 2: Binding & Distribution 📦 Learn how to produce the finished ZINE and how to deliver it to readers. Together with guests who have actually created ZINEs, you'll make your "first issue" and proceed hands-on through the process of creating and distributing it. Inspired by last year's ZINE event at 01village, you'll also hear firsthand stories from people who completed their first ZINE, as well as real talk about printing, binding, sales, and distribution. 🌱 01village supports new challenges. Try turning your ideas and projects into words and form to share them. Making a ZINE is a great first step. Turn "someday I'd like to try" into "I made it this year!" Beginners are very welcome! If you're interested, please feel free to join us ✨ Event details: https://01village.jp/blogs/20260201 -
