Workshop | The Art of Zines: Self-Expression in the Archives

In honor of Virginia Archives Month, expand the ways in which you engage with archives. Join us for a zine-making workshop that celebrates this year’s theme, “The Art of Self: Expression in the Archives.” Delanie Utterback, an artist, illustrator and visual arts teacher at the Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School for Government and International Studies, will demonstrate collaging techniques and lead participants in creating zines using reproductions of archival materials from a variety of Virginia repositories. Participants will leave with a zine of their very own — plus a better understanding of what archives can be used for and the relationship between fair use and art. All materials will be supplied. Register soon to reserve your spot!

For more information, contact Mary Ann Mason at maryann.mason@lva.virginia.gov. This is a free event. Registration is required.

Consider registering to attend one of the Library’s Archives Month Tours taking place on Oct. 26 at 10:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to learn even more about what archives can offer.
