Sunday 29 November @ 10m-2pm
Learn the basics of analogue Riso printing and leave with a colourful set of mini calendars to gift to your friends. In this 4-hour workshop you will design and print an edition of 10 x two-colour 2027 mini calendars using a mix of collage material, mark making, text and photographs.
We will start with a brief introduction to the medium and look at examples from our print archive to explore its possibilities; then using templates we'll design your months, separate the layers, print and collate the calendar.
There are up to 5 places in each workshop, templates and all materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. This workshop will focus on analogue artwork preparation, creating handmade stencils using drawing, text and collage techniques. If you are familiar with the medium and proficient with softwares you can bring your laptop and work digitally. While we will assist you setting your files ready for printing, there will be no teaching or assistance with creating your artwork digitally.Riso printing is commonly used for making posters, zines, books, flyers and cards. The riso printer looks a bit like a photocopier and uses rice paper stencils and drums of soy based ink to create mono-coloured layers, similar to screen printing. It is vibrant, distinctive and has lots of room for experimentation.At Artbox London we have a one drum A3 machine and our ink colours are Black, Yellow, Red, Medium Blue, Green, Aqua, Sunflower and Fluorescent Pink.
