Yesterday’s bookmaking event was perhaps one of my favorite Rose Scholar event that I have ever been to. I never knew zines existed and it was so cool to see the different zines that Garden-Door Press made. The event made me aware that many people have work that they want to share but that obviously not everyone can get their work published. I think zines are such a great and unique way to allow people to share their stories and ideas. The books themselves were relatively easy to make, especially if you were not trying to go for an intricate design. However, I also like that there are so many ways that you can decorate the books – I saw people using different printed paper, creating various shapes and sizes of the books, and more! I personally made two books and I will definitely be using them as journals to write my thoughts in!
