Notas del editor
- Hi, my name is Sisi and today I’m going to talk about Supporting Zine Creation in Makerspaces.
- The topics I will cover include: What a zine is Why they belong in makerspaces Designing an environment that is inspirational and supportive for making What types of teaching, learning, and support can be offered for making zines The materials, tools, and equipment necessary to make zines How to extend zine making into zine sharing, trading, collaborating and distributing Locating a variety of grants and local resources to financially support a zine makerspace Considerations for zine creation before, during, and after production of a zine Types of events and projects in which to create, skill share, read, distribute, and interact with the zine and maker community A summary of why zines are a wonderful intersection of literacy, art, DIY, self expression, learning & teaching that fit well into the maker/innovation landscape
- What is a zine? Zines are independently produced and published, photocopied booklets. They are created and then distributed in small numbers and often traded for other zines. Zines range in size, artistry, color, and production cost. Most employ a collage technique; often cutting and pasting from different text and image sources. Zines focus on many themes and issues. They have their own genres and sub genres. The picture on the left is a zine master that was created using a cut and paste collage technique with handwriting, appropriation of a magazine image, stickers, illustration and typed text. It still needs to be photocopied for distribution. The picture on the right is a collection of a variety of zines of different sizes, shapes, colors and cost of production.
- Why create zines in makerspaces? Because through zines we practice the recursive process of making, sharing, giving, and learning. As Mark Hatch, CEO and cofounder of TechShop states in his book, The Maker Movement Manifesto, (2014), making, sharing, giving and learning are at the crux of what makerspaces are all about. People enjoy zines because they help to engender human connections and build community bonds between readers and creators. Green & Taormino (1997) describe zines as, “…sites for communication, education, community, revolution, celebration, and self-expression.” References Green, K. & Taormino, T. (1997). Foreword: Zinestresses of the world unite! Notes on girls taking over the world. In K. Green & T. Taormino (Eds.), A girl’s guide to taking over the world (pp. x-xiv). New York, NY: St. Martin’s Griffin. Hatch, M. (2014). Rules for innovation in the new world of crafters, hackers and tinkerers: The maker movement manifesto. Retrieved from http://www.techshop.ws/TheMakerMovementManifesto.html
- How do we nurture a safe space for zine creation? We design a supportive, collaborative and comfortable environment that is conducive to creation. Mutually accepted agreements are discussed and reinforced. Everyone is as supportive as possible. People collaborate when they feel comfortable. The space is intimate and safe. Individuals are equals, with everyone sharing their expertise. There is accessibility for many ages, abilities, and literacies. References Mashurova, N. (2013, November 1). Making safer spaces. The Media [article]. Retrieved from http://www.fvckthemedia.com/issue23/making-safer-spaces
- Workshops and Support Everyone teaches and everyone learns from one another by sharing skills and strategies. Everyone can be a teacher. All can learn to critically question in order to elicit ideas and challenge assumptions. A variety of curriculums are available to assist with teaching zine making. Taking turns to lead workshops and teach specific skills and strategies will generate additional trust and respect in the makerspace. These activities can take place in the makerspace and can be supplemented with visits to zine libraries, zine fests and other field trips. These experiences will enrich and inspire zine writing and strengthen relationships and trust in the group. Zine groups can be created for different age groups to allow for greater freedom of expression and creativity. For example, there can be separate groups to address the interests of children, teens, young adults and mixed age adult users. References Grrrl Zines A Go-Go. (n.d.). Here are a few tips and tricks on how you can start a zine workshop group yourself. Grrrl Zine Network [web log post]. Retrieved from http://grrrlzines.net/workshopguide.htm
- Teaching and content. To immerse the group in the spirit of zines, read them and learn about their rich history. Zines can be acquired through distributors and at zine fests. Explore the internet for zine histories and invite zine writers in your city to come share their experiences. Design writing events that are fun. Create zines with a specific themes and practice different narrative styles. Discuss language and play with text. Practice illustration and collage. Make partner zines and compilation zines. The instruction can be designed around the needs and interests of the group. References SMS Art. (n.d.). Zine curriculum plan. [Website]. Retrieved from http://smsart.weebly.com/ Whitney, E. (n.d.).

- Layout and design of zines is another means of being creative and individualizing the work. Makers have to consider the following aspects: size, shape, paper type, binding, collating, and folding. After the master is made and the maker decides to publish and distribute, they need to decide how many copies to make. Adding accessories to zines (stickers, buttons, patches, small works of detached art) is another fun activity. Individualizing zines with color, paint, yarn, and floss is another possibility.

- The zine lab can be managed by a variety of people. Anyone who has an interest and passion for zines and wants to work with a variety of people can start a zine makerspace. This includes zine makers, librarians, teachers, paraprofessionals, writers, and students. References Fayetteville Free Library. (2014). 21 questions about FFL makerspaces. Retrieved from https://fflib.org/make/makerspace-faqs
- Equipment, tools and materials to create zines Here is a list of what you may consider purchasing or borrowing for your zine makerspace: notebooks, file folders, paper, magazines, old books, scissors, exacto knives, paper cutters, tape, glue, pens, pencils, markers, paint, staplers, yarn, twine, needles, thread, grommet tools and accessories, hole punchers, cameras to create original images, computers with word processing and publishing software, typewriters, a copier, a file cabinet, tables, chairs, and portable plastic bins. Many of these things are optional. A plastic storage bin can be used to facilitate a portable zine makerspace. References Becker, D. (n.d.). Zine workshop. Texas State Library and Archives Commission. [Website]. Retrieved from https://www.tsl.texas.gov/ld/projects/ttr/2009/manual/zine.html
- Issues to consider before during and after zine creation The type of binding to use Whether to sign the work or use a pseudonym. Providing contact information for people to correspond via mail, email, blog, or social media. Numbering pages and dating the zine Providing attribution to sources used if appropriating images or text. Specifying allowances on what others can do with your zine (including whether they are allowed to digitize, copy, distribute, or trade) Whether or not to apply a copyright license to your work (creative commons, copy left, anti-copyright) Leaving room for margins and care in the copy quality What type of trading guidelines to create. If the makerspace is in a library, trading but no purchasing is allowed on the premises. References Krissy PonyBoy Press (2008, October 4). What not to do in a zine [Online discussion]. Retrieved from http://wemakezines.ning.com/forum/topics/2288844:Topic:13550?id=2288844%3ATopic%3A13550&page=1#comments Wooten, K. (2009, September 21). Why we’re not digitizing zines.

- There are a variety of zine events and projects that groups can participate in. Examples include: trades and swaps,, fast deadline creation (make in a day or a number of hours), open houses, zine library or archive visits, and pop up makerspaces in unlikely spaces like: public transportation, parks, schools, or private homes.

Retrieved from https://stolensharpierevolution.wordpress.com/zine-event-listings-around-the-world/
- An important component of zine creation is the sharing of the work created. These can be trades if both people have zines. This can happen through a salon type event. It can be a celebration of the completion of a zine. People can read from a portion of their zine. Future collaborations can be born here. All in the spirit of sharing art, emotion, and knowledge. It is a community that can be created through sharing zines. This can bring a new found attention to the library and the learning commons or makerspace. Zine fests are also wonderful avenues for sharing, trading, learning, and promotion. Zines can be sent to distribution houses, zine libraries, and zine makerspaces. References Kelley. (n.d.).

Barnard Zine Library and Bingham Center Zine Collections are housed in academic libraries. Salt Lake City Public Library Alternative Press Collection and San Francisco Public Library’s Little Maga/zine Collection are in public libraries. There are over 100 zine libraries in the United States. Zine Librarian, Jenna Freedman provides a comprehensive list of zine libraries around the world on Barnard Library’s website.

- Why are zines a good fit for makerspaces? Zines offer an excellent opportunity to explore a creative process that is iterative and rewarding. They offer community and a sense of empowerment for participants. Zines provide a wonderful medium for self expression. They also, down the line, can become cultural and historical artifacts. Zine makerspaces that are housed by libraries offer the added opportunity to house and circulate zines. This provides the public with a means of participating in library material curation. These are some of the reasons zines are ideal for makerspaces.
