About this Event
Learn how to operate Boneshaker’s riso and make 25 copies of your own two-color print!
More of an analog person? Learn how to print computer-free using the Riso MZ790U’s scanner bed!
Stuff that’s ideal for this workshop includes physical work such as: collages, hand-drawn work, printed photographs, or one-page zines that can be printed in one or two ink colors. Some materials may be provided, but it's recommended that you bring a collage or physical design that you made ahead of time.
ANALOG/PHYSICAL ORIGINAL GUIDELINES
Bring 1–2 physical originals (on 8.5”x11” or 11”x17” paper.) These can be either a full-color or single-color image intended to be printed in a single ink color or two originals (one for each ink layer).
