About this Event
Risograph printing enables artists and designers to create their own art prints, books, and zines using a distinctive, vibrant, and vegetable-oil ink based printing process that creates deep textures and unique results. While the RISO was originally designed for printing applications in the office environment, artists and DIY/creative print culture have reclaimed this innovative technology for self-publishing.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll create 1-2 color designs on a Risograph duplicator, as you learn how to set up images, change color drums, print in layers, and register colors using the Museum's SF5130 single-drum Risograph duplicator. All materials provided, but you're encouraged to bring several B&W photographs (5"x7" or smaller) to collage with or incorporate in your risograph printmaking process.
Best for: This is the ideal introductory course for artists, designers and creators wanting to operate the machine independently and print their own artwork from start to finish.
Takeaway: You will leave with your own limited edition set of 15 copies, 2-color risograph prints (8.5"x11").
