Inside Industry City's sprawling Sunset Park complex, Zine Club gathers makers and curious first-timers to cut, fold, draw and swap zines, the DIY mini-magazines at the heart of indie publishing culture. It's a low-pressure, hands-on hang where you can leave with something you made and a stack of others' work, no art-school background required. If you're into print, collage or comics, this welcoming free meetup is a small creative gem in Brooklyn.
What to expect
A relaxed table-based session with paper, pens, scissors and supplies, where people sketch, collage and assemble their own zines and trade finished copies. Expect a friendly, all-ages-leaning creative crowd, plenty of inspiration to flip through, and the option to just browse and read if you'd rather not make your own.
