OPEN CALL // INTENSIVE ZINE WORKSHOP
The zine is a creative output for self-published artists to show their work, tell visual stories, and experiment with different themes and concepts. In a three-day zine workshop led by Hedy van Erp and Arjen Zwart, we will work on how to organize your images. In two separate groups, we will go through all the steps, including selection/editing, sorting and layout, cover design and printing, and the basics of binding.In the end, you will have a print-ready format of produced zine!
