The Art of Zine Making
Jake Benzinger guides lens-based artists through the process of sequencing, designing, and conceptualizing fine-art zines through the development and creation of your own zine over the course of the four-session workshop.
Workshop Categories: Book Making
A finely crafted book requires the artist to select the proper images and text, sequence them, lay it all out graphically, and then have it printed and assembled. When done correctly, a book can be a work of art in and of itself. The Workshops offer classes that focus on specific aspects of the bookmaking process, such as editing and sequencing, as well as workshops that focus on creating the physical object. Bookmaking is a wonderful way to expand one’s creative palate.
