<br />
Here is a little clip to get you started making your first zine. This is merely a guide, you can really make it however you want. This is just a neat way of fitting a zine on an A4 piece of paper. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5oD8EyZHOU">Make a mini zine (with cute muzac)</a><br />
<br />
You may be wondering, can I make a zine about favourite zuchinni varieties? Can I make a zine about poo? Can I make a zine about the birds I notice playing in my gutters? Can I make a zine with no words, just drawings of autumn leaves? Can I make a zine of ways to pimp my (bike) ride so it looks like a dream machine? The answer is yes. You can make a zine about anything you want and the best way to do it is just get started.Today. I keep a bunch of small cards with me wherever I go so I can make pages for my next zine. Sometimes the best inspiration comes from overhearing something strange, finding something on the ground or seeing something in the clouds. You are a future zine machine. Show us what you got.<br />
<br />
Also, definitely come along to this. There will be lots of activities to get you inspired about making zines, including a mini zine fair. Email bizoozine@gmail.com to book a table.<br />

<br />
what is a zine?<br />
a zine is a thing<br />
it is like the back-end of maga-zine<br />
that's how you say it anyway, 'zeen'<br />
but it's different to a magazine<br />
sure, it's usually made of paper<br />
but sometimes it's made of other things<br />
<br />
people write in zines, draw in zines<br />
they are made by all kinds of people<br />
they are self published<br />
and they can be about anything!<br />
some people make zines which are little collections of their artwork<br />
others write zines about politics, breakfast, weaving, dreams, jokes, bike riding...<br />
actually, anything. actually, everything.<br />
<br />
do you remember the first project you made at school<br />
maybe it was about whales or dirt or green, or something<br />
remember the extreme satisfaction from making something yourself<br />
something you could hold in your hands<br />
i get that same feeling when I make a zine<br />
and i don't need a publishing deal to get it into the world<br />
i just photocopy it<br />
cut it up and bind it with thread<br />
and it's done<br />
my zine is called 'i hope your slingshot slings'<br />
yours could be called anything you want<br />
<br />
small press is about making zines<br />
and making things yourself<br />
just going for it<br />
because you can<br />
everyone knows something<br />
<br />
there will be all kinds of things happening in the space above frankie's empire, from the 5th-13th July.<br />
<br />
keep an eye on this page for event details...<br />
