What Is WIP?
The Workshop for Independent Publishing (WIP) is an artist-led community printshop run by volunteers. We provide access to photocopiers, risograph machines, and an array of bindery equipment to support the creation of zines, publications, and artist books.
Founded in 2025 by Late Night Copies Press, a Minneapolis-based micro press, WIP is an experiment in artist driven resource sharing. WIP offers the cheapest printing rates in the Twin Cities for laser color and black and white, along with riso printing.
WIP offers workshops, hosts zine launches and readings, and prioritizes a publishing-forward approach to printing. We are a DIY space, encouraging both shop members and the public to learn how to print and publish independently for a wide variety of projects!
