Make a Mini-comic with Deb Lucke @ Z!ne Club
Friday, January 20th, 3-5pm
We're so excited to announce that our special guest at the next Zine meeting is graphic novel artist, Deb Lucke, creator of The Lunch Witch. Deb will show us how to create a special type of zine, the Mini-comic! New members are always welcome. Sign up for this special session by emailing Michelle at community@beaconlibrary.org.
Zine Club is open to middle school and high school students. Collaborate with other Beacon area teens to publish a zine for teens, by teens. What's a zine? Short for magazine, Zines are self- published DIY magazines. Zines can be about whatever you are interested in. Students can contribute art, photography, poetry, short stories, comics, fan fiction, and anything else you can think of.
The Zine Club will meet monthly to work on individual and collaborative zines. Members will participate in every step of the process from creation and editing to printing and distribution. Meeting topics will include new art and book making techniques as well as the occasional guest artist. The zines created by the group will become part of the collection of the library. There will also be opportunities to trade zines with other library zine clubs in the area and across the country. All supplies are provided; no experience necessary.
