 Art of the Risograph In-Person (Adults and Ages 16+) What is a Risograph?
Risograph printing is a technique best described as a ‘digital screen
printing’. The process is much like screen printing, but with the
convenience of an office copier. It’s known for its vivid colors and its
specific textures. These machines deliver ‘perfect imperfections’ and
provide a cheap and easy method for reproducing work at large
quantities, like posters, prints and zines.
This four-day, in person, workshop focuses on the basic techniques for
risograph printing. Emphasis is placed on printing multiple color layers
and registration. Participants can use digital or hand drawn elements
or a combination of both, to create a large edition one-page artist
zine, where personal content will be explored. This workshop is open to
both beginner and advanced artists.
