Class Description

Description

Participate in creating a collective Riso publication surrounded by inspiration in the Press Print: Risograph Photobooks exhibition at Penumbra Foundation.

This 3-hour introductory workshop is perfect for those who want to have their first experience with Riso, as well as those who wish to refresh their skills and continue experimenting. Participants will be guided through the built-in features of the Riso to create images without the need for a computer while becoming familiar with safely operating the machine, including switching drums and control registration. Then, the class will create images by layering and combining textures on the scanner, embracing imperfections and experimentation. Everyone will leave the workshop with a copy of the collaborative 11x17 fold zine and a basic understanding of how to use the Riso machine.

Participants should bring flat materials they want to translate into Riso prints, such as analog photo prints, fabrics, and papers with interesting textures.

Tuition includes a $20 materials fee.
