The Morecambe Community Riso Press was awarded Pots of Possibility funding to run a food inspired Zine making project with five free workshops planned across Lancaster District. [Scroll down to book your free ticket!]
Charlotte Done explains the project’s plan to create a small library of DIY Zines together, cooking up a rich cultural exchange of recipes and food stories to share across our communities.
WHAT WE’LL BE DOING…
Making absorbing & vibrant Risograph printed zines filled with food stories with a focus on the principles of Food Futures Good Food Manifesto.
HOW WE’LL DO IT…
Delivering workshops to groups and delving into the world of zines and DIY publishing. Creating, editing and printing our own, low-fi mini FOOD magazines, for participants to share locally.
The zines will explore people’s experience of food, favourite recipes, food memories, nutrition and local suppliers, projects and producers.
Printed at the Morecambe Community Riso Press, a low carbon printing method which produces vibrant results and printed on recycled paper, these will be zines people want to keep, despite being encouraged to share them!

We’re running 5 workshops to make the zines, producing and printing a mini zine from each workshop.
