ZW RISO ZINE CLUB


This year  we are going to release a mini riso-zine every month with a fun mini zero waste project! Starting a zero waste make can be a bit intimidating, these are meant to give you the tools to start small and build.

Some projects will include objects, accessories, quilt blocks, or simple garments, each one is completely unique and designed by yours truly.


The instructions on these pages can be limited due to the physical size of the zine, so full writted instructions with photos will be available over on my substack

You can purchase a zine you like any time or you can purchase a full years worth of ZW riso-zines for a small discount. (Yes, I realize this is launching in February - one month will double up)

Thank you for supporting the world of zero waste design!

DECODE BINGO 2026


Celebrate over a decade of DECODE and love of zero waste!

DECODE Bingo is a limited game designed to celebrate the many ways you have engaged with DECODE over the years. Each bingo card includes prompts pulled from real DECODE experiences, both IRL and online. Some squares are easy wins, some are deep cuts, some are just there to make you smile.

Complete a bingo and you’ll unlock a reward, ranging from digital prizes to physical artifacts. Card blackout wins unlock extra special surprises!

What’s included

  • One Decode Bingo card (physical)
  • A mix of accessible, nostalgic, and fun prompts
  • Entry into prize drawings based on completion level
  • Permission to play, learn, and not take it too seriously

This is for people who have followed Decode for years or just discovered it; makers, designers, students, and curious thinkers.

Prizes are intentionally limited, handmade, or weird. Some things can’t be bought. Some things exist only because this game does. All rewards are rooted in lure, curiosity, and fun. Honored throughout 2026.
