Riso Cards Workshop
Sunday 22 March 2026
10am - 2pm
Location: Artbox London Studio - 1a Airdrie Close, N1ODT
Design and print your own cards with us! During a 4-hour session you will make your own two colour cards that you will print, trim and crease on the day. Different layouts are possible during this workshop and you will take home either a set of two A6 folded cards or four different simple cards.
This workshop includes an introduction to Risograph printing, a collaborative print to test materials and ideas and your own made-by-hand wicked cards ready to be handed to friends and loved ones!
This workshop will focus on analogue artwork preparation, creating handmade stencils using experimental mark-making, text and collage techniques. If you are familiar with the medium and proficient with the softwares (Photoshop/Illustrator/Indesign/Affinity) you can bring your laptop and work digitally. While we will provide you with the specs to format your files ready for printing, there will be no teaching or assistance with creating your artwork digitally.
Each participant will take home an edition of 10 copies with envelopes, plus a copy of the collaborative A4 poster.
There are up to 5 places in each workshop, templates and all materials will be provided.
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 Fluo Pink. We have a variety of uncoated recycled paper to choose from. We also have guillotines, long arm staplers and bookbinding tools.
If you have any questions about these workshops, please email laura@artboxlondon.org
Artbox London is a registered charity and social enterprise supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to create, exhibit, sell and license their artwork. All profits raised from this workshop will go towards supporting the charity and our artists.
