Tender Hands press

Tender Hands is a tiny DIY arts & zines press & distro, located in Manchester, UK. We print, sell, promote & distribute risograph printed matter, such as independent & self-published zines & chapbooks by creatives of colour, queer, non-binary & trans folks. Our aim is to make printing creative content more accessible, affordable & to also help diversify the DIY scene.

Any funds or profits made are used to purchase materials, cover printing costs, table hires at self-publishing events & workshops.

Send us: zines, chapbooks, patches, books, badges, posters & prints up to A3 size. We love per-zines, DIYs & crafts, culture, sexuality, activism, feminism, politics, mental health, self-care, relationships, gender, class, disability, religion, friendship, lists, food/recipes, music, memories, plants, & more.

Say hello!

NOTE: we will not print any content that involves or advocates homo/bi/queer/trans-phobia, racism, sexism, body shaming, culture appropriation, victim blaming & animal abuse.

Note: Please keep in mind that this is a one person run press, I try to make sure everything is printed to a semi-professional standard & to the best of my ability, however:

  • you may see a few smudge marks that may go unnoticed when cleaning prints.
  • often wobbly cuts & crops.

 I am also open to any advice to improve the distro & happy to skill-share!
