To celebrate the creativity, growth, and future of the Trans formative Schools community, Booklyn is partnering with them to present a zine workshop series centered on the theme of transformation.

Zines are grassroots, handmade books—created by individuals using basic tools like paper, scissors, pens, and powerful ideas. They’re a way to tell personal and collective stories, explore ideas, and share knowledge from the ground up.

In this two-part series, Booklyn educators will teach two techniques: the one-page zine and the flag book. We’ll bring a wide variety of creative materials—rubber stamps, markers, stickers, collage materials, and decorative papers. For those who want a little structure, we’ll have ready-made zine templates available. Or feel free to go freestyle and make your own from scratch.

These are free, all-ages workshops facilitated by Booklyn educators in collaboration with Trans formative Schools and hosted at La Plaza Cultural Community Garden in the Lower East Side of NYC.

Sunday, June 1 & Sunday, June 8
1pm – 3pm

La Plaza Cultural Community Garden
674 E 9th St, NYC


No experience needed. No RSVP required. Just come as you are—all tools and materials will be provided.
