I went to a youth workshop during my summer holiday, where I made my first zine. The lady leading the workshop told me zines became very popular in the punk scene in the 1970s, as a way of getting your word out in the world. The most popular was a feminist punk zine called Riot Grrrl in the 1990s. I made a zine about living with an anxiety disorder, called Crooked Glasses, and left some in the youth club where the workshop took place, I found it really fun to construct as you could make it personal and with a quirky design. We also looked at a few other people's zines, and it was great to see everyone's own individual approach to making a zine and their art style.
