Our public programme is about to kick off!
We'll post a flyer for the programme soon, but for now you can find out more about some of our first events on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/wellingtonzinefest/events

Build a paper city, in collaboration with other workshop attendees,
using old books, envelopes and a touch of imagination, and get your story in

window of Matchbox Studios. Bring along your old books and envelopes, cutting
and drawing materials provided.
Artwork is on
display from Sun 19 Oct to Sun 2 Nov and will be available to pick up after
this time.

Thirteen-year-old Zora Patrick has been
making zines for almost five years. In 2011 she won Wellington Zinefest’s ‘Best
of the Fest’ trophy, and in 2012 was invited to the 2012 KOMACON (children’s
comic competition) in Bucheon, Korea. Zora and her zine-making younger sisters
Oki (9) and Dune (8), whose work was also recently included in the exhibition Small Press at RAMP Gallery in Hamilton,
will be talking about ideas for zines, zine-making techniques, and presenting
some of their favourite creations. This workshop aims to encourage children to
participate in zine-making and introduce them to Wellington Zinefest, and will
include a session of zine-making with materials provided by Wellington Zinefest
and the Wellington City Library.
Venue: Wellington City Library, 65
Victoria Street
Date: Sat 18 Oct, 10.30am (1 ½ hrs)
FREE
Monoprinting is a fast and flexible way to
introduce colour, design and expressive line-work into your zines. Try a range
of monoprinting techniques that can easily be practised at home – no printing
press or expensive paper required. Learn how to add spot colour to black and
white covers and pages, create one-off or repeat prints and utilise patterns,
lettering and stencils. Materials supplied, but bring along imagery and zine
ideas for inspiration and different paper types to trial. And wear old clothes!
