What’s a “zine”? Pronounced like the end of ‘magazine’ – ‘ZEENS’ are self-published

do-it-yourself printed booklets made in various ways through simple printing methods,

cutting, folding, and stapling using everyday office supplies. In this 3-hour workshop,

you’ll learn all about zines, their history, and most importantly become equipped with the

method for making the most basic type of zine: the 8-page mini zine! Created using just

ONE piece of 8.5” x 11” paper, you’ll make your own with Orion’s help and spend the

rest of the workshop customizing your first mini zine publication with a smorgasbord of

zine-making tools and ephemera to choose from. You’ll leave this workshop with 10

copies made of your finished mini zine to assemble and redistribute among your friends, family and community.

Each month we will be offering different perspectives on zines and their relevancy to

different areas of life and history.

September 2026’s theme is: The Power of Fiction; Build-A-Fairytale Zine

Additionally, September 2026’s zine workshop will feature examples from Hispanic zine

makers and artists as part of celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.
