Zine Workshop Mot Collins

In Partnership with Irish Writers Centre

An accessible introduction to creating, storytelling and self-expression, the Irish Writers Centre will welcome writers to Dublin Book Festival to produce their own mini publications/booklet. Facilitator Mot Collins will guide participants in creating their own individual bespoke ‘zines’ (small, independent publications individually created) through writing, drawing and collage. Materials provided, though participants are welcome to bring their own supplies.

Mot Collins is the working pseudonym of multidisciplinary artist Clara Higgins. She is based in the West of Ireland and has been operating in the zinemaking space for over a decade, in both production, creation and workshop facilitation. She is the founder and operator of Stray Cats Press, a small press and events organization that focuses on DIY publication and zinemaking.
