About this Event
In this Make-a-zine workshop you will learn the Introductory basics of how to create small-scale print publications on risograph. Participants are given a template for how to make a quick-and-dirty A6-sized folded zine from A3 risoprinted paper. The instructor will lead everyone through the process of compiling/creating your imagery/text and either printing via the computer, or directly scanning into the riso duplicator to create your zine.
You’ll walk away with a beautiful 15-copy set of your newly printed zine to share with the world.
What you need to do:
Bring a series of pictures and texts that you’d like to add to your zines (or drawing tools to create your images). Each zine will require eight A6-sized pages of artwork, and one A3-sized poster image (that can be seen once the zine is unfolded).
If you plan to do your zine old-school through the scanner, bring physical copies of whatever you’d like to collage and assemble together. Otherwise, bring a laptop and digital files.
What will happen:
We’ll do a demonstration of our A3 risographs, then we will support you with whatever you need to know as you assemble your images and texts. Once your are complete, each participant learns how to operate the machinery and produces a 2-color zine.
This 5-hour workshop (10.00 - 15.00) is taught in English. We'll have coffee and tea, go through an introduction to the history of the risograph, followed by a demo of the A3 risoprinter, and a lesson on how to set up your zine. There will be a lunch break after which everyone gets to print their designs. The workshop fee includes 15 copies of your 2-color risoprinted zine, a mini RISO guide by Onomatopee, and a list of resource links sent after the workshop.
