Books & Zine Project 2025
The Books and Zines Project has been highly successful, with many participants receiving their printed works or awaiting delivery of their creations. We aim to maintain our connection with everyone involved in this year long project and will keep you informed about events, that we are planning to run in 2025, all related to bookmaking, publishing, and printing, whether you are printing yourself at home or through a commercial printer or making a Handmade Book.
We are excited to announce a new initiative, a ‘New Project’, and a ‘New Chapter’ in the ‘Books and Zines’ project, ‘Handmade Books’ While we are still finalising details with presenters and setting dates, I can confirm that Alex Hare and Lizzie Shepherd will lead a three-part series focused on handmade book creation, titled, ‘Making a Handmade Book’ which will consist of a three workshops, and will include three additional sessions for participants to ask questions, revisit techniques, and resolve any challenges encountered during the process. The workshops will run from May to July and are designed for beginners, with plans to introduce more advanced techniques in September and into the Autumn. We will update you in the New Year.
Our Books and Zines project participants have formed two e-Circles to allow them to go on discussing their projects. Groups will meet on Zoom (frequency to be decided, but less frequently than monthly), to discuss their work.
Participants are welcome to discuss printed books, electronic books, or handmade books.
One group meets on Tuesdays at 17.30 (UK time), and one on Wednesdays at 14.00.
There are a couple of places available and any DI members interested in photo books would be welcome.
Anyone interested should contact DIcircles@rps.org
Another addition is that we have created a dedicated section on the DI Website where you can view some of the books produced through this project. You also have the opportunity to purchase these books by contacting the photographer directly; their contact details are provided on this site.
