Let’s print! Riso Basics is an introductory class to this super cool printmaking method!
Come learn about risograph printing with us!
This workshop is a great place to start if you’re new to riso, or if you’d like a refresher! We’ll take a deep dive into risograph history, an overview of how these machines work, the stencil-duplicator process, and the quirks and fun (sometimes unpredictable) outcomes of riso printing. The main focus of this class is EXPERIMENTATION. We’ll share print and zine inspiration, favorite mark making tools and how to use them for riso, and we’ll walk through a print demo on two of our riso printers! This class is led by Kate Bingaman-Burt and Leland Vaughan, with the help of the rest of the crew at Outlet and our riso sisters—Barbara, Janet, Corita, and Lil’ Tina (yes we named all of our printers).
The class culminates with each participant creating an edition of 2-color prints—and then sharing them with the class! In addition to a stack of your own prints, you’ll get a copy of everyone else’s! Your own starter print collection!
