MILK MAGAZINE: Making Magazines Event
It wasnt until this year I found out Bath Spa has its own creative magazine ran by publishing students; I think the University should do more to inspire collaborations between courses as during my final months of university there are many facilities such as 3D Printers, Risographs and workshops I have come across from talking to students and lecturers of other courses that are openly available to me which I didn't know about. Kind of annoying.
Making Magazines is an event ran by Milk Magazine and aims to be a celebration of magazine publishing in the south-west. The event took place at the newly designed Gallery Café at Bath Spa University, Newton Park.
The free event is a collaboration between the recently launched Society of Young Publishers south-west branch and Bath Spa University's student magazine, milk. Also hosting guests from Magalleria, Bumble and Future Publishing. the event was an opportunity for networking and included a pop-up indie shop from Magalleria.
I managed to get tickets to the event after it was advertised on Milks Instagram.

Josef and Racheal of Bumble Magazine have a similar story to
Lucy Saunders and her Flourish Magazine success.
Josef said that the year after graduation
he was working in a magazine shop and co creator Racheal was working in a cafe.
“Towards the end of the second year after graduation, Rachael had started a
project for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and she came up with the
idea for Bumble. Further down the line, she mentioned
her idea again and said she was still thinking about it. So I said ‘yeah, so am
I… so when are we doing this?’.
So it was summer last year when we just
kept going with stories, illustrators and ideas, basically. When we started
writing the articles and sourcing the images and things like that it started to
become something… The more you do, the more you have to lose. If you’ve done
all this work, you just keep going. We were doing stuff we loved: various
articles about species that we both have an interest in.”
