Zine Cloud the Book - IT ROCKS!

I finally got to see the Zine Cloud book! After about a week of people telling me how good it looked I was handed a copy while attending the 1.Five.O exhibition opening at the Academy Gallery, Launceston. I quickly took these photos.

Nicole, the graphic designer, is amazing.

Zine Cloud @ TLWW

The Zine Cloud collection will be on display throughout Tasmanian Living Writers week (15 - 24 August) at the following branches of the State Library: Launceston, Burnie, Kingston, Glenorchy, Rosny, and Hobart, as well as at the Tasmanian Book Fair at the IXL Atrium, Hunter St, Hobart on Sunday 24 August.

The display will consist of 1 x set of the 4 individual posters, 1 x larger collated poster, 4 copies of the zine publication that collects highlights of the individual zines.

Zine Cloud

23 – 27 June I co-ordinated 4 teams of zine creators and art teachers to deliver a statewide (Tasmania) program of workshops called Zine Cloud, the results of which will be available during the 2008 Tasmanian Living Writers' Week, 15 August - 7 September.

In a week we produced over 60 zine publications.

I had the pleasure of being one of the South Eastern team's artists along with Nicole Robson and Felicity Copeland-Brown.

Other artist teams where:
North West: Pat Grant, Karlee Foster, and Michelle Best
North: Jo Waite, Ingrid Reynolds, and Lisa Drinkwater
South:Leigh Rigozzi, Sarah Badcock, and Peter Young.

The resounding feedback from everyone, artists, teachers, and students alike, has been that the week was intense but highly rewarding. We were all kind of buzzing for about a week afterwards.

The Zine Cloud project is a partnership between arts@work and the Tasmanian Department of Education.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in this project, it was amazing!
