Coin-Operated Press is an artist-led organisation established in 2020. We are based in Scotland and run by zine-makers Chloe Henderson and Katie McCann. We host workshops, run zine fairs, create educational online content, produce, publish, and distribute our own collaborative zines.

 

What is a zine? A zine is a booklet-style artwork that you make yourself, and give away, swap, or sell for the cost of printing. Zines enable adaptable learning and provide a creative outlet that can be accessed by anyone regardless of experience or skill level. We use our talents to help others to develop their own through the power of collaborative support.

 

We welcome our community of an open and fluid collective of people of all genders, sexualities, ages, races, abilities, and backgrounds to get involved in Coin-Operated Press.  As a company, we strive to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. We value intersectional feminist culture and are especially interested in working with the LGBTQ + community and marginalised folks.

 

We believe everybody is an artist, and all you need are the right tools and a little encouragement to have your voice heard in your own handmade publication.
