Come to Artbox London for an evening of risograph printing!

In these evening workshops, you will learn about and experiment with this fun and colourful medium, and develop your own multiple colour prints.

Riso printing is commonly used for making prints, comics, zines, posters, 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. These sessions are aimed at beginner or early stage printers, though anyone who is interested in riso printing is welcome.

Each session will involve an introduction for beginners, so if it is your first time please try to arrive at 5.30.

You will use materials like inks, pens, pencils and collage to build layered prints using lightboxes. You are welcome to bring in previous work of your own, or any collage materials you’d like to incorporate into your prints.

You will make a two-colour A4 or A3 print, depending on your design. You will bring home a total of 10 copies.

At Artbox London we have a one drum risograph printer and our ink colours are fluorescent pink, yellow, red, green, blue and black.

We also have guillotines and long arm staplers for trimming and stapling.

There are up to 5 places in each workshop.

Note: This workshop does not focus on digital creation of artwork or printing from digital sources.
