This is a paid camp that requires registration. Sign up here.

This class is for students 13-18 only.

Create & print your own zines with the guidance of Push/Pull Press’s zinester, Maxx FG. Maxx lost track of the number of zines she’s published as she’s been doing it for over 25 years now! She’ll teach you about the history of independent and self-publishing zines and each day you’ll work on creating your own zine. You’ll also learn about setting up your zine for Riso printing and get to print your work with the watchful eye of Maxx.

All materials are provided and 20 copies of one zine created during the week that is 2 colors. Additional copies or prints of additional zines can be done by Push/Pull Press and arranged with Maxx for a 10% discount on our regular printing charge.

Class goes from 10am – 1 pm each day with a break for snacks, July 7 – 11. Lunch is not provided. You can store food in the refrigerator and use the microwave in our kitchen. There are also many restaurants in the area.

We offer partial scholarships for this camp. For questions or to request a scholarship, email rj@pushpullseattle.com.

After 25 years of creating and publishing zines, Maxx still thinks they are the coolest things ever. There’s just nothing like holding a book, even a tiny one, of your own art and ideas. As she says in her zine “Zines Won’t Save the World”: Zines won’t save the world, but they might save someone’s life and that’s kind of the same thing.
