Find your creative voice by making a zine! Be heard. Be Zine.
With graphic designer Claire Speight and award-winning poet Maggie Sawkins.
What does it feel like to be you? Is there something unique about Island life? Do you live, work or play in on the Island? Are you part of a community group that wants to promote understanding? Would you like to share your outlook and story or just try something new? Then why not join our zine-making workshops? Zines are neat little DIY magazines that are a wonderful mash-up of stories, art, words, and illustrations that give a voice to differing points of view. Working in groups, you will be guided by Claire and Maggie in exploring shared themes around Island life. Using techniques including collage, drawing, mark-making and other print techniques, Claire will help you develop your story visually. The zines will then be distributed throughout the community as well as forming part of a window installation and final exhibition at the Quay Arts Centre in spring 2023!
