Zine Club
Coin-Operated Press is super excited to invite you to our fabulous Zine Clubs happening every month at the delightful Kafe Kweer in Edinburgh! It’s super laid-back – you can bring your own projects to work on, or just dig into our stash of collage stuff and art supplies to whip up some zines. Plus, feel free to bring your own zines if you want some feedback, want to show off your work, swap ideas, or trade zines with us. Making zines is an awesome way for anyone to get creative – it’s cheap, eco-friendly, and just all-around good vibes. We’re all about using simple stuff while being kind to the planet. Teaming up with Kafe Kweer, we’re taking over their gallery space once a month to enjoy a comfy, sober hangout spot where ya'll can kick back and enjoy some chill zine-making sessions with us! Everybody is totally invited at Zine Club - ya'll are welcome and we do not discriminate against anyone, for any reason, including sex, gender, ethnicity, income, religion, age, and ability.
Our Zine Clubs are the perfect spot to get creative, especially when life gets all crazy and busy. We aim to create a low-pressure and chilled-out atmosphere where you can leave happy with awesome cut & paste creations and sticky fingers! Chloe is on hand with all the knowledge and art supplies you need to make zines, giving you the chance to let your ideas fly. Zines are super chill ways to share all sorts of important stuff like politics, life tips, how-tos, doodles, poems, comics, and personal stories. Plus, they’re a blast and bring people together! We’ll hook you up with tips on how to make and get your zines out there into the big wide world, whether it’s printing a bunch of copies and sharing them with your buddies or selling them through distros and at zine fairs.
