Week 1 of Bowerbirds Zinemaking went beautifully.
Part of probably the most exciting afterhours event Jurassic Lounge- held at the Australian Museum- the zine zone was a quiet refuge as well as a creatively buzzing little nook set with the backdrop of a cave.
Participants could choose a piece of handcrafted recycled paper (made by Eco-Library volunteer Clare) and then peruse the cut-out images and words spread around the room. There was lots of lovely feedback about the paper stock as people really appreciated the value of each and every piece. With a loose theme of DISCOVERY, a total of 45 pages were made using collage, drawing and text and pinned up within the cave. The selection from our zine library introduced newcomers to the zine world on what a zine actually is and inspired people to get crafty. The pages will be collated each week to go towards our big Jurassic Lounge zine.
The Bower Re-use & Repair Centre and Eco-Library will be hosting the zinemaking using recycled and re-used materials again this coming Tuesday 9th August with the theme DREAMS.
Jurassic Lounge will also come alive with burlesque, bands, swing dancing, karaoke, live projections and video installation, films and exhibitions.
Entry is $15 plus a free drink.
Tuesday 9th August from 5.30-9.30pm.
