Come exercise your creativity by making your own DIY, mini magazine at Zine Night! All supplies provided and no experience necessary.

A zine (pronounced “zeen”) is a handmade, self-published, and small batch magazine that can be on any topic and which is traditionally photocopied and circulated among the zine community at little to no cost. At the HQ MakerSpace, participants will be able to make a zine of their own. This is also a great opportunity to share or swap your zines with others. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced at zine-making, you’re welcome to join in on Zine Night!
