Workshop announcement 📢 A workshop to create a ZINE together ＼ Ichigo no Techō vol.4 ／ A one-time ZINE made by newcomers We'll get together and each person will create one handwritten page! So far we've published vol.0–3, and after receiving requests to join, we're holding vol.4! This time's theme is “My Recommendation” Recommended books, snacks, meals, places… You can dig deep into one thing, make a ranking, or use illustrations or text — all are OK! Feel free to express yourself on one page 📝 ✔︎ I'm interested in ZINEs but don't really know much about them ✔︎ I want to try making a ZINE but making a whole book feels like a high hurdle ✔︎ I like writing diaries or planners This workshop is recommended for people like that!
