If you’re following us on Facebook (and you really, really should be–just search for “Alt Press”), then you’ve glimpsed the inter-cultural amazingness currently displayed on Level 2 at the Main Library.
We’re talking about zines from Japan!
In a first-ever international outreach experiment, we shipped off some of our precious zine collection (via good old snail mail) to Kanda University of International Studies, about an hour east of Tokyo, Japan.
If you are an Instagram user (and really who isn’t these days amirite?) check out these great pics from last night’s Valentine’s Mini-Comic zine workshop courtesy of zinester/alt-girl bonniekayevargacooper.
Or click here and look for February 2013.
If you like what you see (and live in the SLC area) we urge you to come on out to one of our workshops. They are super fun. Or maybe look out for or start Zine Workshops in your community.

Big thanks to everyone who came and contributed. The resulting work will be posted at Alt Press Fest 2012!
Lucky Dragons are a super cool music group who often work on collaborative art projects. In 2010 they appeared at a Sumi Ink Club event in London. Here’s a video of what happened:
We could totally make this happen in SLC. How cool would that be?
More on the Lucky Dragons can be found here.
Come and join us for our Sumi Ink Club Event on June 16 over at Day-Riverside, 1-3 pm.
This gallery contains 12 photos.
Here’s your chance to make a zine inspired by past travels or musings of far-off places!
