About this Event
Have you ever wished that you could create those colorful Risograph prints without the giant Riso
machine? Meet the Mimeograph!
In the 1870’s a Hungarian immigrant working in a Chicago kite factory invented a stencil paper that made it easy to print on paper without a printshop. David Gestetner’s stencil paper, along with a small desktop duplicating press introduced by Thomas Edison and A.B. Dick, sparked a revolution in indie publishing and later led to the development of the Risograph.
Learn how to create stencils, how to operate a mimeograph, and even how to print from stencils with no mimeo or riso machine at all! Workshop participants will learn about the history and technology of the mimeograph and then dive into hands-on instruction.
Taught by Rich Dana & Leisha Stanek of Obsolete Press.
