ONLINE (captioned recording available)

This 1.5 hour workshop is an introduction to the risograph printing process. We’ll talk about the basics of how the machines work, how they’re being used today, and look at examples from our collection. The workshop will be recorded for those who can’t attend live or who want to revisit the information at a later date.

After a brief intention setting and conversation about the magic of printmaking, you’ll be led through a demonstration on our riso EZ591. We'll discuss specifics in class, but preliminary information about our specific machine can be found here. We’ll also discuss ways of creating images specific to risograph printing. 

 Following the group workshop, each student has the option of a one on one meeting to discuss the specifics of their project. Everyone will create a single color print, up to 11 x 17 inches, and will receive 30 copies. Students are able to choose from a variety of provided paper choices, or supply their own. Students will have three months from the date of the workshop to submit files for printing. Once projects are printed, they will be mailed via USPS to their recipients. 

A workshop spot has been set aside for one Black, Indigenous, or person of color to attend free of charge. If this describes you, please email us.
