Upcoming events at Glasgow Zine Library
Learning to code? Working on a project? Working on a game? Want to start coding but don’t know where? Need help figuring out particular software? These monthly meetups are a chance to share and discuss any coding-related projects with a group of like-minded peers.
Join Coin-Operated Press to nerd out about Doctor Who and celebrate your love for The Doctor by crafting your very own mini-zine!
The DIY Animation Club is a space to gather together and play with images, movement, and sound. No experience is necessary to join–each of us is learning through experimentation! We share ideas, tips, and skills. We might be working on our own fragments of bigger projects, or spontaneous scrappy snippets together!
Join illustrator Olivia Juett in exploring how memories can be held and create a memento magnet for a moment you want to hold close.
Join this welcoming, hands-on introduction to Japanese calligraphy and discover the beauty of traditional brush writing.
Trans Writes is a creative writing group for anyone who identifies as trans or non-binary. We welcome writers of all levels, including those who want to try writing for the first time. Together we'll explore trans identity and creative expression; this is a space for you to experiment, whether you’re writing something serious, something playful, or something in-between.
Join us for a night of creativity and expression in the heart of Glasgow's Southside. Whether you're a seasoned performer or trying out the mic for the first time, this event is the perfect opportunity to share your voice and connect with fellow artists.
In this instalment of the Zine Library’s ‘Social Theory and Pop Culture’ series, Dr Gemma Flynn will present a talk using Susan Faludi’s landmark text ‘Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women’ (1991) to explain the recent rise of TradWives.
Join us for an inclusive peer-learning session led by a fellow amateur playwriting enthusiast. Through guided prompts and discussion, this workshop explores what the creative freedom of zine-making can bring to the act of writing a scene, and how the tradition of plays published in print might bring something exciting to zine collections everywhere.
Have you got an application you really need to finish… but you just can’t quite sit down and do it? Application Hub is just the ticket. These monthly sessions take the power of body doubling to run as a two-hour focus group using a gentle Pomodoro structure: we’ll set goals together, do short bursts of deep work, check in with each other, and end with a short moment to decompress.
Starting with this 24-page introductory zine, Georgia Webber joins Dr. Aby Watson in adapting her doctoral thesis into comics, adding personal colour and visual life to critical neurodivergence in dance theory.
