Saddle-Stitch Bookbinding Workshop with Pree Rehal
Saturday, August 21st, 2021
2PM – 5PM on Zoom!
This workshop will begin with a brief history of zines and their relevance to BIPoC and 2SLGBTQ+ movements, and then walk participants through making their own zines with saddle stitch binding using materials they already have at home!
Pree (they/them) is an artist educator currently based in Tkaronto, originally from Tiohtià:ke. They’re a child of immigrant settlers from Punjab. Pree’s work is ode to their extended youth as a trans and non-binary person, while also painting love letters to their inner child, and affirming their queer, disabled, fat self. Their main medium is watercolour, but Pree also embroiders, creates short films, writes and performs drag. They have been facilitating arts-based programming for 3 years, and public speaking for over 5 years. They have an interdisciplinary arts practice under the name: Sticky Mangos and co-founded the Non-Binary Colour Collective. Pree’s work has been featured in CBC, Xtra magazine, BlogTo and Salty.
