Terra Poirier Chapbook Workshop Specs





Chapbook/ZINE Workshop with Terra Poirier 
February 26th, 2:30-5:20, LB 119

Notes on preparation for the workshop:
First: write a short piece on the theme of "how to"
Second: Come with your short piece printed out in such a way that the text block fits into an area of 4.5" W by 7" H (that is 4.5 inches wide by 7 inches high). That is the size of zine we'll be working with -- 'zine is short for magazine (and usually indicates a handmade and photocopied magazine, done DIY or Do It Yourself style. Try to pick a piece that you can fit into those dimensions, but if you need to print two such pages, that's ok. But two is the hard limit...
