Brooklyn’s Zine Workshop Prints in Park Slope

Park Slope pressed last night with Brooklyn’s Zine Workshop, inking NYC’s spring at a 5th Avenue loft. Zinester Jay Patel taught staples as 40 cut, a $15 class for DIY kids. It’s borough pages—pure BK vibe, stacks hot. A kid glued a spread; a pro stapled a rant. ‘Brooklyn reads—this is it,’ Patel says, folding sheets. The room turned press.

The shop’s fresh—March 19’s start, it doubled since RSVPs, packing tables by 6 p.m. Patel’s a Slope printer; last night’s crowd hit max—ink smudged. A latecomer nabbed a cutter; pages turned—NYC grit glowed. Zines hit the pile—print ruled. #BKZineShop trended; Queens wants a staple.

Some griped—’Too messy,’ sniped a newbie, dodging glue. Space pinched—latecomers stood; craft held. A staple jammed—fixed quick; work rolled. Staten wants a turn, but Park Slope owns it—pages rule. The loft’s never printed so bold.

Patel’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a swap if spring bites. ‘NYC’s voice—this speaks it,’ he says, packing stacks. The shop’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets pulp. It’s a zine rush; join the next. Bring a pen—words call.
