Come back to Paper Arts for a joyful collaboration, as we create more handmade, one-of-a-kind artist’s books to stock the Zine Machine! The event is free, but please bring some interesting papers to contribute — offcuts, failed art experiments, sketchbook pages, parking stubs, pretty candy wrappers… whatever you have that can be transformed into magical little books!
Join us as we create an instant series of tiny, one-of-a-kind artist's books. We'll combine bits of wonderful paper, offcuts, and abandoned art, to create a varied series of baseball card sized zines. Participants will take turns at stations dedicated to book-building, drawing, creative writing, stamping, and collage. Then, when our time is up, we'll launch our new flight of zines by sharing a few of our favorites in a mini-reading. Then we'll load the zines into our beautiful vending machine, where they'll be available to Paper Arts customers for 25 cents a pop!
The collaboration will be led by Lisa Huffaker, founder of White Rock Zine Machine. It is offered free of charge, but we ask that participants bring an offering of interesting papers for our cause. Check your broom closets and desk drawers for "used art" (offcuts, experiments gone awry...), beautiful candy wrappers, old envelopes (especially with stamps attached!), fortune cookie prophesies, stylish Kleenex boxes, parking violations, doodles, geometry homework, wrapping paper... anything to add to our stash!
Registration info coming soon.

Our next series features highlights from Art and Words, a collaborative project curated by Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, which brings artists and writers together in an annual show at Art on the Boulevard, in Fort Worth, TX. Each of the twelve zines in this flight pairs an artwork with a piece of writing; we dare you to guess which inspired which!
Lisa Huffaker will be the visiting artist in the DMA's C3 Gallery, July through September. Visitors will be invited to contribute to the making of zines and the transformation of a retired baseball card vending machine into a Zine Machine! There are many more details to share, but not yet... watch for updates!
Join us as we launch a new series of zines, featuring new writing inspired by photographs. Twelve photographers have collaborated with thirteen writers, to create immersive works. This series of twelve zines presents highlights from a larger exhibition at Kettle Art Gallery, open from May 11 - June 3.
Join us for an art opening featuring an exciting collision of photography and writing. Twelve photographers and thirteen writers have collaborated to bring you paired works, deepening visual experience with the written word. Our theme is Texas, and this exhibition unfolds like a road trip for the eye and mind. And be sure to visit Deep Vellum Books, starting May 12: the Zine Machine will offer a new flight of zines, featuring highlights from this show!
Our next round of zines features poets from a collective called "The Bonehouse." They hone their work through regular workshops, and present a monthly reading series at The Wild Detectives bookstore. This will be a beautiful series -- don't miss it!
Grab a friend, significant other, family member, sworn enemy... whoever is ready to join you for a day of creative collaboration! We'll write for, about, and with each other, and play exciting art games. Both you and your partner will go home with a copy of the zine you'll create together. This class is offered through the Writer's Garret, and taught by Lisa Huffaker. https://www.facebook.com/events/1821027534799183/
