Zine Workshop in Buffalo!

Now that I am back in the real world, settled into my new house, and just on an even keel all around, I plan to get back into fairly regular zine production again! I hope to have a new issue of HPRS out within the next few months, certainly in time for March 1st, which brings me to my exciting announcement!

I'll be conducting a zine workshop along with my esteemed colleague and former classmate Joel Brenden (The Enthusiast), as part of a series of book arts-related workshops initiated by a wonderful fledging organization I beong to called the Western New York Book Arts Collaborative (WNYBAC). It'll be a full-day affair, 9am until 4pm on Saturday, March 1st, 2008 at the Center for the Arts on the University at Buffalo's north campus in Amherst.

The first half of the workshop will consist of an illustrated lecture presentation including historical information, the nuts and bolts of zine publishing and distribution, and lots of examples to look at and fondle. In the second half, participants will have the opportunity to create their own zine pages and put them together to create a collaborative zine to take home with them at the end of the day!

The class is limited to 8 students, and we will have lots of space to work in, as well as access to free photocopies!

I'm very excited about instructing this workshop, and if it goes well this time around, may repeat it at the Typecon conference in July, also in Buffalo.
