About this Event
Intro to Riso
Join us for a deep dive into the wonderful world of risography. This workshop is designed for those who have already attended our first RISO 101 session or have prior experience with risoprinting. Together, we’ll explore color gradients, blending, and half-tone techniques to take your RISO skills to the next level.
This full-day workshop is taught in English. We start off with coffee and tea. We’ll review techniques like overprinting, dot screens, and color interactions, followed by file preparation and hands-on time at the risoprinter. Everyone will get a chance to print 5 copies of their own design using two RISO spot colors.
The workshop fee includes 5 prints in two colors of your own design in A3 (on our favorite off-white EOS paper at 90g thickness) and a list of resource links sent after the workshop.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to bring your digital file and a laptop, or a physical piece to scan :)
This course focuses on color techniques and assumes basic familiarity with the risograph. It covers file preparation (color separation and export process), but it does not cover the design process. Please make sure to bring to class a laptop with Adobe Photoshop installed (we’re going to need it to work on your files) and your finished design/image. Participants that don’t have their design/image ready won’t be able to take the class.
Not sure what to print? No problem—this workshop is all about color experimentation! We recommend starting with something simple, like a 2-color gradient poster or a bold shape layered over a gradient background. These designs are perfect for exploring how colors blend and interact in riso printing. Check out this pinterest board for simple 2-color Riso designs: https://pin.it/4cyvKvgTC.
Cancellation: If you cancel more than 12 hours before the workshop begins, your payment can be transferred to another Intro to RISO Course in the future.
