Location: Artbox London Studio - 1a Airdrie Close, N1ODT
Turn your story into a publication! In this workshop, you will design a small zine while learning how to print with the Risograph.
After an introduction to the RISO duplicator, we’ll get to grips with the process by making a quick collaborative print before focusing on your own two colour zine. We will look at examples from our archive and you will learn the many ways an A3 page can be folded to create a small book. We will make stencils using experimental mark-making, text and collage techniques.
Templates and materials will be provided. Participants can either bring their project or create everything during the workshop.
This workshop will focus on analogue artwork preparation. 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 make a one-page, 2-colour zine and takes home up to 10 copies of your zine, plus a copy of the collaborative small poster.
There are up to 5 places in each workshop.
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.
