This weekend, a series of free workshops, panel discussions and informational tables is scheduled to take place at PSU. Called the Zine Symposium, the idea arose out of a desire to link together people in the self-publishing industry. The Symposium is meant to offer a way for people to share resources. This idea quickly sprouted into a wide variety of workshops. From "Basic Bike Repair", to "Sewing and Knitting Basics" presented by the PDX Sewing Group (and even a workshop by IMC - Portland at 3:30 on Saturday), organizers say these topics are likely to be represented in zine articles and will therefor be of interest to Symposium participants. What links them most strongly together is the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) idea behind them. for the most part, a DIY mentality is the foundation upon which zines were formed.
