We’ll look at some zines from Tehran Zine’s & Risofort’s collection, show you one way how to make your own zine & give you a quick introduction of the Risograph (the printer we’ll use to produce your zine). You’ll then draft your own zine, we’ll help you produce it right away with our Riso & you take some copies from it home with you.
