Zine Workshop inspired by “American Vernacular”

Dive into Hugh Hayden: American Vernacular with writing, design, and collaborative risograph printing through a two-part zine workshop, co-created with Frye Parlor artist Jayme Yen and Seattle print studio Paper Press Punch.

  • Session 1: September 20, 11 am–3 pm at the Frye Art Museum

    • Working in a small group, engage in Jayme Yen’s Mad Libs-inspired activity, Reading the Room, to guide close looking and reflection on the layered themes in Hugh Hayden’s work. Then translate your written reflections into visual compositions using a vibrant array of materials—turning text back into imagery in a collaborative game of artistic telephone.

  • Session 2: September 27, 11 am–3 pm at Paper Press Punch

    • Create an original two-color zine featuring your writing and imagery from the first session using Paper Press Punch’s risograph printers. With guidance from printmaker Jessica Hoffman, learn the basics of risograph printing, zine layout, and binding as you bring your group’s ideas to life in print.

You will experiment with different inks and paper types, translating your original artwork into stunning risograph prints. By the end of the workshop, you'll have a collection of your own prints and a solid understanding of how to incorporate risograph printing into your artistic practice.
