About this Event
This event will take place in the Clydeside Hall at The Briggait.
Make a fanzine dedicated to your bestie at this workshop led by writers Anahit Behrooz and Mika Morava. We'll draw on different aspects of the traditional fanzine – playlists, memories, gushing essays, collages – to make a zine dedicated to your BFF.
You’ll learn how to make a simple zine, and how to use different techniques such as collage, printing and pop-up, resulting in something very sweet and gushy about the platonic love in your life. We'll have an instant camera on hand so bringing your best friend and doing the workshop together is encouraged!
