Become a member of Little Goods Zine Clubhouse!
$25.00 includes 2 sessions, a copy of “A Brief History of Zines”, 10 copies of your 8 page zine, all art supplies and materials
June 17 & 24, 6-8pm
Join this zine workshop and learn how to make your own zine using your unique voice and creativity! You can leave your zine inside the clubhouse for someone else to take and feel free to take one left behind. In this way we create connections in our community. Sometimes you may only have a little to give of yourself, other times you have more, but you give what you can and take what you need.
Little Goods Zine Clubhouse is hosting a double workshop series! In the first session an introduction to zines is provided along with the chance to make an 8 page zine from a single piece of paper. At the end of the session your zines will be collected and printed to give you 10 copies of your zine. The following session you will be assembling and trading zines with the other participants and leaving one copy in the clubhouse. After that, you will learn to fold a 16 page mini zine from a single piece of paper. Resources will be provided for you to DIY print your 16 page zine as well as where in Calgary you can distribute them!

About your Guide
Nicole Gruszecki is a visual artist from Calgary, Alberta who taps into her horror punk DIY roots for inspiration. Currently, she creates zines (mini self-published magazines), comics, drawings and paintings to bring joy to the people that engage with her work. Nicole’s zines are often mini love letters to the things in life she engages with most. Such as, horror movies, music, animals and videogames. Her art often has a nostalgic feel to it, pulling imagery from 90s patterns, 80s VHS tapes, classic science fiction and traditional comic book aesthetics. She works in a variety of mediums including paint, ink, markers, collage and digital art.
