Join us in partnership with Brooklyn Public Library for a Brooklyn Zine-In where you will learn how to make your own zine, pick up free copies of zines and limited edition stickers, view special zine-related materials from the Center for Brooklyn History’s collection, and contribute to the Brooklyn Zine-In Community Zine, a collection of stories from BPL staff and patrons.
All zine-making materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring any of your own images, stickers, stamps, markers, or other materials that you’d like to use.
Are you a practicing zine-maker or “zinester”? If so, this workshop is for you.

We’ll cover some history of both techniques, explore zines and artists’ books with unique bindings, and introduce you to a range of bookbinding tools. Then we will make our own books! You can bring your own paper to bind or use our selection of various paper types to make a journal, sketchbook, or blank book. Two hours will be dedicated to learning and instruction. 30 minutes will be reserved for studio time so you can finish your projects.

This mini-flag book is a favorite at Zines After School. Now we’re sharing it with you!
Typically, when we make flag books in a workshop, we make them collaboratively. Each participant creates one or several “flags” as an icebreaker activity before we transition to another zine or book activity. While students are busy working, one of our educators binds the collaborative flag book that we showcase at the conclusion of the workshop. It’s usually a fun, “wow” moment, and helps to see each other as collaborators, and therefore, a community of sorts.
But kids sometimes aren’t as “wow’ed” by this. They’ve asked, “Who gets to take the flag book home?” So, we added the mini-flag book to our curriculum so we can do both. And they have a mini-flag book of their own.
We love this book format in particular because the template can be printed out on (2) pieces of 8.5″ x 11″, which makes it more accessible for classroom teachers, or anyone with a basic computer and printer set up. Watch the video below, and download the template to make your own.
We are planning a full week of experimental printmaking, bookbinding, and storytelling activities that will culminate in a Zine Fest at the end of the week. There are still a few spots available and we’d LOVE for you to join us 🤍

↳ February 19-23, M-F, 9am-3pm
↳ Extended Day until 5:00pm
