About the Workshop:

This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Christina Long.

Have an idea for a zine or small publication but not sure where to start? This four-session bootcamp walks you through the full arc of independent publishing, from print production and binding to pricing, distribution, and the politics of making work outside mainstream channels.

Over four sessions, students will print one complete zine, develop a concept and prototype for an original small-press, and build a practical publishing plan. The bootcamp concludes with each student presenting their final zine concept and prototype to the group.

Along the way, we'll lightly explore the current landscape of independent publishing, including how AI tools, and censorship pressures are reshaping what it means to protect your creative work on your own terms.

No prior bookmaking or publishing experience required.


Required Materials:

  • Pencil and paper for taking notes

All other materials and tools will be provided by CBA at no additional cost to the students.

Skin friendly for kids

It's of good quality but because of the design, if not dried properly can be a home to bacteria.
