Mia has worked for youth style magazines like Dazed and Confused and has a particular interest in the creation of Zines as a way of young people publishing their own ideas and stories, with no cost and little fuss.
In this workshop, Mia will show you how to make your very own Zine or perhaps a collaborative Zine with family members.
Mia Says "Zine making involves producing our own mini magazines using easy steps in this fun relaxing workshop. I run a zine and publishing house for zine makers. We sell our zines across the world in shops and in places like the Tate Modern. I’ll be showing you how to make your own DIY version at home! It’s expressive, relaxing, and easy to replicate"
For this workshop, you will need.
Scissors, glue sticks, pens or pencils, old magazines or catalogues that you can cut up and paper that you can pick up free from the Bomb Factory on Boothby Road( see below for details)

Mary is a London based artist who is interested in printmaking and maps.
She has developed a workshop for you to create Cyanotype photographs. By using special sunlight sensitive paper and layering transparent pictures and stuff you can forage from outside, you can create one-off photographic masterpieces.
Cyanotype printing is a fun way to understand the principles of photography using sunlight by exposing paper with arranged objects placed on them. In this particular workshop, Mary will ask you to use some of the pictures she has provided and collect plants and items that you can forage from local hedgerows to create the patterns on the paper. She will show you how to develop the image on the specially treated paper, creating magical sunlight photographs.
One week after completing the workshop we will have a special online group meeting, Mary can look at the work you produced and you can all participate in a group chat.
(Pictured Left, Example of Cyanotype from Previous workshop)
