Zinnes

Can’t believe it’s already time for my degree show! These past 3 years have felt like forever and nothing at the same time.

Come along to the Development Hub, Cliftonville Road, Northampton from Friday 21st June to Thursday 27th June 10-4pm (excluding Sunday) to see the works of ziNNes club, my independent practice and all the hard work of my fellow 3rd years in Fine Art and Painting & Drawing at UoN. It’ll be a great show 😊

ziNNes club will be back tonight at Kino Lounge, 6:30-8:30pm!! 💕

As always materials are available to use and all ages and skill sets are welcome to come along, Lauren will be able to show you how to get started if you’ve never made zines before 😊

Hope to see you there! It’s always a fun few hours ⭐️

No ziNNes tonight due to my second to last uni deadline on Monday, I’ll be too much of a ball of stress to deal with

Back to The Shire Horse tonight for ziNNes club, 6:30-8:30pm. We’ll have plenty of materials for anyone that wants to come along but as always feel free to bring your own things. Don’t forget that anything made at these sessions can be part of the UoN Fine Art Degree Show in June 👍🏻

For anyone wanting to come to ziNNes club in Northampton tonight, it’ll be starting at 5pm now as I’ve got a uni commitment that’s running later than planned.

Back in Northampton tonight for ziNNes club! I’ll be at Waterside Bar at 4:30pm if anyone wants to come along. Don’t forget it’s free to attend (with materials provided) and anything made can be shown at the UON Fine Art Degree show in June 😊👍🏻

Would you like to be part of this years BA Fine Art degree show at ?

As part of my studio module, I have been exploring community arts as a practice. This means that zines made at any of the ziNNes club sessions in both Kettering and Northampton can be displayed as part of my degree show. You will fully credited for your work and I can share any socials/emails you’d like me to.

Come along between today in Northampton and June 5th to be part of the show.

For more information, email [email protected] or message .nn.es on Instagram 😊

No Kettering ziNNes club session tonight I’m afraid as I’m not feeling the best (uni is kicking my butt mentally and physically it seems). Should be back on next week, sorry

The NN collaborative zine is finally finished, printed and available to buy from our website (www.zinnesclub.bigcartel.com) Thank you so much to everyone who submitted work and shared the open call, wouldn’t have been possible without you! Any profits made from these zines will go straight back into ziNNes clubs for things such as workshops and materials 😊

Unfortunately I’m gonna have to cancel todays ziNNes club session in Northampton as I’ve managed to pull something in my hand so won’t be able to carry/make anything 😩 sorry for such late notice, I’m just an accident prone mess

We’re back in Northampton today for ziNNes club at Waterside Bar & Restaurant! Come along and join in if you’re free and in the area between 4:30pm-6:30pm 🫶🏻

Almost ready for FOLD: Derby Zine Fest this weekend. We’ve got some new additions to our collection available including Alex’s latest zine: Doom Boy! It’s probably one of my favourites he’s done so far so don’t miss out on Saturday 👍🏻

Tonight is another ziNNes club session in Kettering! We’ll be at The Shire Horse pub from 6:30pm to 8:30pm for anyone wanting to come along, just bare in mind the music can be a little loud at times so if that’s not your jam there’s always our Friday sessions in Northampton. Hope to see you there 😊👍🏻

Friday ziNNes club sessions are now back up and running in Northampton! Meet us at Waterside Bar & Restaurant between 4:30pm-6:30pm for a few hours of zine making and more. It’s free to attend and all materials will be provided for you. Food and drink available at the bar.

Join me for a 7 week project that explores self care through zine and book making. Maintaining positive mental health can be difficult to do especially alone, so the aim of this project is to recognise the simple things that help make us happier and actively do these things.

We will be filling these books/zines with the things that make us happy, no matter how silly or mundane, just like I did with my zine with the same name of this project. The sessions will cover things such as badge making, collaging, sticker making and bookbinding techniques (including Japanese bookbinding).

Starting from 15/4/24 we will meet every Monday for 7 weeks at Kino Lounge to talk about/make our books and zines. There will be 2 groups running, a midday group at 11am-1pm and an evening group at 6-8pm. Limited to 5 people per group.

Free to attend and all materials provided, just send me a message or an email to [email protected] to book your slot onto a group.

Finished books and zines made through this project can be exhibited at this years University of Northampton’s Fine Art degree show as part of a community arts project.

✨Super exciting news!! We’re gonna be at FOLD, Derby Zine Fest on Saturday April 13th✨

Find us in the Deda Theatre 12-5pm with over 35 other zine and comic makers. There’s various workshops happening throughout the day and the Derbyshire Zine Library will have a pop up reading room in the Deda Cafe which I know I’d love to visit.

If you come along to any of our ziNNes club sessions between now and then I’ll gladly take your zines along to show/sell, just send me a message or ask in person for more details.

Hope to see you there! 😊👍🏻

I’ve been slacking a lot recently about posting online but I promise ziNNes club is still going but now at a new Kettering venue!

Join us every Wednesday, 6:30-8:30pm, at The Shire Horse pub, Kettering for an evening of zine making and more. It’s free to attend and all materials are provided for you, food and drink can be purchased from the pub bar.

There’s no themes to the next few months of sessions whilst I finish up my final year at uni but I’ll still gladly teach whatever you want to learn at the sessions.

We’ve also got some fun news to share tomorrow so keep an eye out for that on here and in person at this weeks Kettering event.

Hope to see some of you at a session soon 😊👍🏻

Thrilled that the founder of .nn.es will be joining us at the outside(R) zine fest and hosting a ‘Sustainable zines/Trash zines’ workshop where all the materials will be things that have already been used (fabric off cuts/scraps, magazines and newspapers, plastic bags, food packaging etc). General paper making isn’t the most environmentally friendly process so this workshop will shine a light on ways to still create zines without adding to the problem. Lauren will be bringing a badge maker so people can turn things like food wrappers into badges. The outside(R) team would love it if everyone that came to the Zine fest gifted a wrapper, carton, other recyclables to this workshop. Places on the workshop will be limited. But we guarantee it will be great .nn.es is an incredible zine making community.

There’s just over 24hrs now until the zine fest in Coventry!! We’re super excited to have both a table and a workshop at the event which is free to attend. Our workshop is focused around making sustainable/trash zines using materials that have already had a life of their own (magazines, food wrappers, plastic bags, fabric scraps etc) to cut down on waste. We’d be very grateful if anyone could donated any materials to this workshop, we’ve got a good range of things already but the more the better. There’ll also be a badge maker on hand to create food packaging badges to match your zines! At our table we’ll have a selection of zines, stickers and badges made by various ziNNes club members available to buy/zine trade for.
We hope to see/meet as many of you as we can tomorrow 💞

It’s another week of ‘No Theme, Just Make A Zine’ at ziNNes club!
Join us in Kettering or Northampton for 2 hours of unfiltered zine making/crafting!! We can teach you anything you need to know to make your zines (including some bookbinding!) and materials are provided for you. We even have a badge maker on hand ✨
Tickets can be found at zinnesclub.bigcartel.com and if you have any questions, just send a message through.
Hope to see you there👍🏻
