Seed Lab, Tent City Press, and the Anchorage Public Library are teaming up to make zines! Shortened from the term fanzine, “zines” have roots in fandom of early science fiction from the 1930’s. Since then, making zines has been a popular method of sharing art, information, humor and the whole gamut of types of literature in a small, informal way. Anyone can make zines about anything.
Check out the full schedule of zine workshops below - more details on each event to come. Unless specifically noted, all workshops are open to participants of all ages. Materials will be provided. You can attend one or a few!
