RISOGRAPH MINI
1.5ish hour session to learn, create
and print$35 per person
Limited to 6 people
Join us at this mini Risograph workshop for a night of analog making, printing, and trying new things!
This workshop is great for anyone looking to get a brief intro to the world of Risograph printing. We will go over the basics of what Riso is, where it came from, and how the machine works with all of its quirks. The remainder of the class will be dedicated to creating, experimenting, and printing a postcard design all your own.
Everyone will make a 2 colour, 4.25x5.5” postcard print using the materials available. You will design and create your own artwork and as a group, decide on what 2 colours we will be printing with. Everyone’s design will be tiled on one page, printed, and then cut down to size, so you’ll walk away with 20 copies of your very own print. In the spirit of Riso, I always like to encourage a print swap at the end of the class!
Perfect for those who love to explore and learn new skills!
