Zine Club Chicago Online: Holiday Zinemaking Hangout + Swap Edition
7:30 p.m. CST Tuesday, December 14 on Zoom
Free!

For Zine Club Chicago’s last event of the year, you’re all invited to make mini zines with our merry crew! Let’s celebrate this festive season together with a laidback virtual hangout. A swap by mail will be held after the event for folks who’d like to share the mini zine they made, too.

All you need to bring is a few sheets of paper, a writing utensil, and your creativity. If you’ve never made a mini zine before, here’s a quick video tutorial (and we can provide any assistance you need at the event, too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiUzo41dh5Q

Grab your zinemaking supplies, BYO(H)oliday(T)reats, and join us on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: Holiday Zinemaking Hangout + Swap Edition at 7:30 p.m. CST Tuesday, December 14!

** RSVP required ** To help make sure that online Zine Club Chicago events are a safe space, the Zoom link won’t be released publicly. If you’d like to attend, please email zineclubchicago@gmail.com to RSVP by 9 p.m. CST Monday, December 13. You’ll receive the Zoom link by 11 p.m. CST that evening.

Zine newbies and longtime enthusiasts alike are always welcome at Zine Club Chicago, the city’s only book club-style event for people who read zines. This free monthly series is produced by Chicago Zine Fest/Midwest Perzine Fest organizer Cynthia E. Hanifin and sponsored by Quimby’s Bookstore. Anna Jo Beck designs the club’s monthly flyers, created its logo, and made the Zine Club Chicago Shout-Outs site, where folks can peruse and recommend zines.
