Welcome to the Riso Pop Winter course:
Full Riso Deep Dive
Start the new year full of creativity! Join me in this 6 week course, where we will meet on Tuesday evenings to deep dive into the world of riso. Learn in depth about this printing technique while making exciting prints and printed products!
This course is for those who want to do more than a one-off workshop and want to have the time to develop this technique into their work.
When and Where?
The course will start in February, on Tuesday the 13th and the last evening will be the 19th of March. The course will be from 7pm to 10pm.
What can you expect?
During these evenings you will how to approach this printing technique from different points of view. The main goals of this course are:
for you to feel confident with the printer,
for you to explore drawing/painting/digital techniques and how they translate into print,
to get into detail on how the printer works - best practices as well as classic troubleshooting moments,
to develop and find your own voice within this extensive technique,
to offer you the opportunity to work at the studio at your own pace, and for sure, have fun!
How is the course set up?
For each evening you will get an assignment, these assignments will help to explain an area of the printing process and what is possible with riso. You will get to print each evening, from prints, posters to small zines as well as other ‘out of the box’ riso products!
>>Take into consideration you will also be asked to prepare some of the assignments at home in order to make the most of the time at the studio for printing.
Do you need a laptop (or iPad)? Yes.
What will we be covering?
We will of course cover the machine in detail, from technical aspects to efficient and good printing practices.
The assignments per week will be covering different areas of riso printing. The themes we will be covering are:
Collage and analogue techniques (Using the riso scanner)
Riso colours & colour mixing.
Textures, gradients and other riso effects.
Digital media (how to use digital software to help)
Photography and riso.
Your personal project.
By the end of this course, you will have had extensive experience in printing with riso, so you can book a printing session here at the studio, or at any other riso location and print your work with confidence!
Are you ready to jump in?!
Why this course?
Riso Pop is know for its one-off workshops, which are a great way to start learn about risograph printing.
By organizing a longer course, I want to offer not only more time to work with this incredible machine, but to be able to offer a more intimate and hand-on approach to the printing experience.
By coming back on a weekly basis, I hope participants will get into their creative zones and feel less pressure than in a regular workshop where time is of the essence.
This is also why this will be a small course with max 5 participants.
