Come to Artbox London for an evening of Risograph printing!
Riso printing is commonly used for making posters, zines, books, flyers and cards. The riso duplicator 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.
In this workshop we will explore the analogue side of this medium by creating artwork by hands and using the duplicator’s flatbed scanner to transform your design into multicolour prints. We will use drawing and painting materials, collage, cut-ups (and objects!) to create the artwork and learn how to separate colours for layering.
Unlike digital printing, this workshop celebrates the craft of analogue techniques, a manual approach that is fun, experimental and is the best way of learning how to design and print with Risograph.
Workshop outline:
The class lasts for 3 hours and starts with a brief introduction to the RISO duplicator and an exploration of Riso prints from our archive. After making a quick collaborative work to test materials and inks, you will then work on your own A4 two-colour print. You will take home your edition of 10 copies plus one collaborative print.
These sessions are beginner friendly and any level of experience is welcome. There are 5 places in each workshop and the class is run by our experienced printmaker and Risograph tutor Laura, who will guide you through every step, from creating your image and getting to grips with the equipment, to printing your final edition.
Equipment and materials available:
At Artbox London we have a one drum A3 duplicator SF5330 EⅡ and our ink colours are Fluorescent Pink, Yellow, Sunflower, Red, Green, Medium Blue, Aqua and Black.
We have a variety of uncoated recycled paper to choose from. We provide plenty of drawing and collage materials to create your work, but feel free to bring your own. We also have an Ideal 4305 manual guillotine, long arm staplers and bookbinding tools.
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.
