Zine Club
Join us for a free Space Coast Zine Club meet-up at the bookstore! Basic supplies are provided.
What's a zine?
Zines (like mini magaZINES) are mini booklets often bound very simply, sometimes using even just one sheet of paper! They can be decorated in any way you'd like, and are a great tool for spreading information, art, and self expression.
Space Coast Zine Club meets at different locations around Melbourne to let their creativity out and create zines together!
