January 31st, 2012 § 1 Comment
As part of Processed! (http://www.facebook.com/events/343274425702103/), a series of short-term exhibitions and workshops at Free Range Gallery, the Perth Zine Collective is delighted to host a 24-hour Extreme Zine Making Marathon!
The marathon will be split over two 12-hour sessions:
Saturday 4 February: 9:30am-9:30pm
Sunday 5 February: 9:30am-9:30pm
If there’s an idea for a zine kicking about in your head that you haven’t yet put down on paper, or if you’re a newcomer to zine culture, or if you just love fun, creative company, now’s your chance! We’d be super delighted if you could join us. Materials (stationery, paper, photocopier, long-arm stapler) will be provided, but feel free to bring your own supplies. Selections from Aunty Mabel’s Zine Distro will also be available for browsing and buying.

We hope to see you there!
Love,
The Perth Zine Collective
