Workshops at LZS ‘08

A list of some of the workshops and events happening at this year’s Symposium are listed below. A schedule will be online by April 17th with room details etc.

Workshops

Screenprinting (large workshop room: 1pm-2pm)
An introduction to screenprinting, with a brief talk on various dos and don’ts, as well as talks about equipment etc. This will be followed by a hands on session where people can screenprint a London Zine Symposium t-shirt (you need to bring your own t-shirt!). Screenprinting is often seen as something quite daunting, and the workshop aims to introduce to people how they could use screenprinting for their own projects.

A zine making primer (large workshop room: 5pm-6pm)
The basics of making your own zine. It’ll be a hands on workshop looking at different ways to create zines. Looking at different folds, pagination and reproduction techniques. It’ll incorporate both the traditional cut n paste methods and using a computer.

Online radio (large workshop room: 2pm-3pm)
Dissident Island Radio, an online radio station based out of RampART social centre will be running a workshop about online radio; what it is, why its useful, and how people can create their own radio programs.
