In the days before social media music fans would make their own media. Fanzines would be cut’n’pasted from other magazine, newspapers or anything which came to hand. Fans wrote their own articles, took their own photos and used their own artworks to create little magazines all about their own passions. Whatever you’re a fan of, a musician, a team, an author or a favourite show, come along to our drop-in workshop and get inspiration for your own Zines. Bring along your own material to cut up and paste, or use materials provided. We’ll have all the equipment you’ll need to launch your own fanzine.
