sarah will provide all materials and equipment, but if you do have any particular images of your own animal companions that you would like to include in your zine, do please bring them with you.
The session is offered on a ‘pay what you can’ basis, to make sure that there is no barrier to attendance.
The suggested payment is £10-15. this will include a contribution to fund-raising for the zest collective, as well as covering costs and time for the artist.
* What is a zine? a zine (pronounced zeen, short for magazine or fanzine) is a handmade, self-published, small-batch booklet.
About the exhibition
This workshop is part of FRUITFUL, a six week programme of exhibitions by emerging artists in Southampton.
Rooted in ‘a space’ arts’ RIPE graduate scheme, delivered in partnership with Southampton Solent University and Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, this celebration of budding talent showcases over 40 home-grown artists working in a variety of mediums and practices.
What is RIPE?
Established in 2018, the RIPE programme supports graduate artists from Southampton Solent University and Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton to exhibit and engage in artistic exchange and experimentation, forming networks and friendships that will help them sustain a fruitful visual arts practice.
The programme has previously been based at Alfred Arcade, the Hidden Wardrobe and the Alfred Arms on Old Northam Road in Southampton, and is now welcomed at God’s House Tower and the Arches Studios.
Each year, a new cohort is recruited under a different fruit name. Explore previous RIPE projects from the Bananas, Mangoes, Tomatoes, Peaches, Plums, Pears, Papayas and Coconuts.
