About
Workshop: Introduction to Riso printing
Come and try riso printing and make your own 2-color posters! Our basic course in riso printing is suitable for everyone, regardless of creative skill level. We'll walk you through what a risograph is and how you can use this wonderful, absolutely amazing but somewhat awkward technique to create colorful and vibrant prints with real ink! At the workshop we focus on working with digital files and you will learn the basics of how to work with riso printing in different programs. You need to bring your own computer or iPad to participate in the workshop and have a fairly good grasp of the programs you choose to work in. Each participant makes a poster in two colors that we print together. You get 10 copies to take home with you. Fika is included! After you've concluded the workshop you are eligible to join Riso Community Studio, a platform where you can use our studio and equipment to work on and print your own projects. More information is given in the workshop!
