Have you heard of zines but never tried making one? Would you like to come to the first Zine Club and join in? Or are you a seasoned zine maker who wishes to come and make some zines in the company of others? Either way this Zine Club is for you!
Zine Club is your opportunity to come and make zines in a friendly, chatty environment for a couple of hours. Louisa will be in the Birnam Arts gallery space with the materials you will need, ready to take you through some of the techniques that you can use to make a zine. A zine is a small-scale pamphlet or booklet that is not formally published but can be easily photocopied to distribute - if you like!
Zine Club is for adults and children aged 8+. Please note that anyone under 18yrs old must be accompanied by an adult, and the adult must stay with the child for the duration of the session.
Zine Club is a development of a research project being conducted by Louisa Preston, supported by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland. Louisa is an artist-publisher and researcher at the University of Stirling. Her research project aims to explore creative forms of publishing connected to arts organisations situated in remote and rural areas of Scotland. If you would like to learn more about Louisa's research and experimental art-publishing please visit her website: www.researchtown.uk
You can follow Louisa on Instagram @louisapreston_scribo where she will be posting outcomes of the research under the hashtag #art-publishing-ecosystems.
FREE entry! Just drop by! We'll be at the top of the stairs in the Gallery.

I have enjoyed taking part in events such as Scots Opera before we came to live in the area. Since then we have enjoyed both attending events and the splendid cafe In the foyer. It is a brilliant example of a local/regional community arts initiative and must not be allowed to falter.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
