Experimental Art-Publishing Exhibition

Zine Making Workshop

Part of Experimental Art-Publishing Exhibition

24 November 2024

Back by popular demand!

Have you heard of zines but never tried making one? Would you like to come and have a go? This workshop at Birnam Arts will 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!

This zine workshop is part 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.

This workshop is for adults and children aged 8+. Please note that anyone under 18yrs old must be accompanied by an adult. Everyone attending the workshop must buy a ticket. 

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

As a past Chairman of Tayside NADFAS/Arts Society, I have enjoyed so many of our lectures in Birnam's wonderful hall and the hospitality which has accompanied it.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.

Highlights

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!

This is a lovely light and welcoming building with a cafe and library during the day and some really excellent concerts and shows of all genres mostly in the evening. It's an intimate space but with capacity for several hundred people and tends to be competitively priced. It relies on volunteer support and is an excellent community hub.

My alternative office, my morning cup of coffee, the place where we run our workshops, meet friends, come to concerts ... Without Birnam Arts our community would lose a bit of its soul.
