Workshop details

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!

Available Colours:

  • Fluorescent Pink

  • Cornflower Blue

  • Sunflower Yellow

  • HD Black

Supplies & Prep

  • No need to bring anything but yourself! The studio is equipped with plenty of mark making tools (pens, pencils, markers), collage materials, paper, stencils and more.

  • This is a totally analog workshop, so no need to bring any laptops, tablets or digital tools.

  • This workshop is designed with creation time in mind, so no need to make any artwork in advance.

  • Optional: You are welcome to bring in any of your own making/collage materials! Dark colours and high contrast photos will yield the best results.

Open to all skill levels!
