How to Make a Zine

  • Local Economy 6058 College Avenue Oakland, CA 94618 (map)

Sunday, November 23, 2025

1:00 PM 3:00 PM

On the one hand, a zine is just a tiny magazine, cheaply produced, often handmade. On the other hand, THE ZINE is a way of life, an approach to the world of letters. Visit any zine fest and you can see that making zines isn't just about copying and pasting. People are drawn to the ideas inside these tiny publications and to the collaborative, DIY philosophy that leads people to make them.

​Artist (and LE member) Rena Tom shares her zinemaking techniques and knowledge of the culture of zines in this hands-on session.

​We'll have some things, but bring materials and ideas!
