Riso Club

Risograph is a unique Japanese stencil printing machine that blends the charm of screen-printing with the convenience of photocopying. Its vivid color palette and translucent inks let artists transform black-and-white images into striking, vibrant prints and zines.

In this engaging 10-week workshop, students will delve into the diverse possibilities of the Risograph Machine. They'll experiment with collage, drawing, paint, and digital CMYK separation to create stunning 2, 3, and 4-color prints. Participants will also explore zine and book formats, making this course perfect for both beginners and those looking to refine their Risograph skills.
