Review from Anna H.
Halifax, NS
1/12/2010
This is the type of place that makes me so pleased with Halifax. Housed in an old... house, this volunteer-driven project is part meeting area, part library and part art workshop. They're probably best known for the comprehensive library of zines (mini, self-published books) called the Anchor Archive, for which a catalogue was set up last year by a library sciences graduate student as his thesis project. They are still working on getting all editions into the catalogue, though, and need volunteers to assist.
Also sharing this space is the Ink Storm Screenprinting Collective. If you're interested in learning to screen print you can attend cheap-cheap introductory lessons on a sliding scale ($20-40). Then go use the space for your own projects, or pay for another affordable three-part class to learn more details.
Watch their website for announcements about cool things like the Free Shop that's set up right now in their shed, where you can go take or donate items at your leisure. Or just drop in on their open hours, and meet some new folks.
