Workshops & Classes

Intro to Risograph

Explore the playful world of risograph printing in a collaborative, beginner friendly workshop focused on making two zines. Bring two images to work from, such as photographs, paintings, drawings, scans, or digital artwork, and arrive with imagery you are excited to use. Digital files are encouraged, ideally as JPEG, PNG, or Photoshop files, and guidance on file preparation is available during class. A risograph is a stencil based printing process that blends the look of screen printing with the speed of a copier. Each color is printed one layer at a time, creating bold textures, vibrant overlaps, and happy accidents that invite experimentation. Zines are small, self published booklets for sharing ideas, images, and stories without rules or pressure, which makes them fast, accessible, and naturally collaborative. During the session, the group will print a collaborative zine using all four risograph colors, and participants will leave with four copies of each finished zine to share, trade, or keep. No prior risograph or zine experience is required, and the class welcomes any skill level. More advanced riso classes are also available for those who want to continue exploring.
