DRAWING WITH RESTRICTIONS + ZINE
BY MAYA STROBBE FROM RAMSDAM BOOKS
SAT NOV. 2ND 12:30-14:30

Maya Strobbe makes repetitive drawings in which many shapes and objects reappear again and again. Drawing templates are essential tools within her drawing practice. Instead of thinking about new shapes, she often brings existing shapes together into something new. Always the same but just a little bit different.

This workshop is about drawing with limitations, and how it can change the way you approach the act of drawing. In the end we make a zine that each of you gets to take home. Open for all ages and experience levels. Instagram: ramsdambooks

COLOUR JUXTAPOSING
BY NANNA VAN HEEST
SUN NOV. 3RD 12:30-14:30

The goal of this workshop is to train and develop your eye for colour and enjoy the magic of colour interaction. By doing a short series of hands-on exercises and experiments we will work with the phenomenon of different colour contrasts. And explore how to successfully juxtapose colours for a desired effect.

Inspired by the exercises from Josef Albers (Interaction of Color published 1963) we will start with combining different coloured paper in assemblages to recognize the influence of one element upon another. After that we will experiment with Colour Quantity in order to tell a story by making a Zine using ONLY coloured paper.

BLUE (DAH BA DEE DAH BA DAA), CYANOTYPE PRINTING WORKSHOP
BY MARLOES DE VRIES
SAT NOV. 2ND 12:30-14:30

In this workshop you will get familiar with the cyanotype process and explore the technique creatively using different (found) objects, exposure times and differences in water acidity. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide and produces a cyan-blue photogram when exposed to UV light.

The Cyanotype process was discovered in 1842 by Sir John Hershel, an astronomer, who needed a simple way of copying his notes. Not long after, Anna Atkins, one of the few women in photography during that century, published the first book illustrated with photographs instead of illustrations, “British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions”.

All materials will be provided.

A BLUE ZINE FOR BLOOD
BY BLUESTOCKING SOCIETY
SUN NOV. 3RD 12:30-14:30

In this workshop, participants will have a chance to explore and express their thoughts and ideas about Period freely by using Blue which is represented as an unfeminine color.

Why is it so hard to say “Menstruation”? Why is it even harder to talk about menstruation?
Do you know how many euphemisms are used for menstruation?
Let’s share thoughts and make zines about menstruation.

The result would be a one-page poster/folding zine.

*Bluestocking Society is a long term artistic and social research project. It is dedicated to researching, and developing alternatives for everyday gender issues through art practices, discussions, screenings, workshops and other public events in Rotterdam.

All materials will be prepared.

UNLOCK YOUR STORY
NOORTJE BOSMA

Have you ever thought about how much your keys say about you. Or have you ever wondered where the keys of people go to? Where do they live, do they have a car or a bike, a locked diary or maybe even a boathouse? Unlock your story is about telling someone’s story based on their keys. In this workshop you will interview a stranger on the street and ask them two questions about each of their keys. Where does this key go to? And, what’s there?
We will use the answers to create a zine and unlock someone’s story.

YOUR / YOU'RE MENTAL
BY WILL VINCENT
SAT NOV. 2ND 15:30-17:30

All of us have a brain - whether we’re friends with it seems to be a matter of luck. The creative process is a time honoured partner to the exploration of our mental states; as collaboration and restriction are themselves partners to the creative process.

This zinecamp workshop will be a collaborative zine based around the exquisite corpse exercise. We’ll be collaging found images and text to unravel a narrative around the theme of mental health - exploring how humour can help us express our stories.

I’ll be bringing a selection of found images to the workshop and invite you to bring your own if there are any you particularly wish to work with. Newspapers / brochures / flyers are a great resource to mine. The workshop will be limited to 12 people, please contact me on will@mrwillvincent.co.uk to sign up. Cheers!
