Are you ready to make beautiful botanical inspired prints?
As the weather gets warmer it’s time for one of our favourite workshops: The Botanical Workshop - with a summer twist! We will delve into the world of Riso printing, combining new techniques and the blooming plants around us! Our workshop is designed to be a perfect blend of learning and fun, offering you the opportunity to:
Gather Inspiration: Let’s collect exciting flowers and plants to use on our scanner bed.
Drawing Exercises: We will have fun exercises to get you warmed up and inspired. Even if you think you can’t draw these exercises are for everyone!
Scan your finds! Make exciting textures by scanning leaves and your finds directly onto the riso printer to create colourful layers.
In addition to creating botanical drawings, you'll also have the opportunity to learn about the RISO machine and how it can be used to make unique prints. You'll create a fun composition or illustration that you can print and take home.
What to expect?
At the studio: we will start with an introduction to the RISO printer and how it works, followed by an experimental print to understand how pencil will translate to riso. From there we will look at the plants we want to draw and with guided exercises, get into drawing our plants.
Afterwards you will time to finish your designs and start printing!
You will get to print your design in two colours and take up to 15 copies home.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this workshop is a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive and creative environment. We provide all materials, including paper, drawing materials, and RISO printing supplies, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and love for nature.
