This workshop is for those who would like to learn how to translate their digital illustrations to riso prints. You will learn how to create an illustration that will take the maximum advantage of riso printing, and also how to work on your files to make them ready for print.
We will also talk about texture options that the risograph provides.
Note: we will not be looking at CMYK or faux CMYK - that is another workshop :)
How will the workshop look like?
The workshop will be given in 2 parts:
Part I: Introduction & 2 different ways of preparing your files for riso.
On Wednesday the 1st of December you can join an online live session through zoom, where I wshare my screen and guide you through the steps of creating an illustration/design specifically for riso. (This session will be recorded so you can watch it later if you can’t attend).
I will show you:
my tips & tricks,
what to keep an eye on,
working on your files and transforming them into the proper output for the riso printer.
This online event will also include time for Q&A’s.
You then get a week to work on your design & ask for feedback.
Part II: Let’s meet at the studio and print!
On Saturday 11th of December, we meet in person at the studio, where I will print your design on A3 format together with you. I wil show you each step of the process.
We close off by show off everybody's work!
What can you expect from this workshop?
You will be creating a new piece (or re-creating work that you already have) to print a 2 or 3 colour A3 riso print!
You will have one-on-one time with me, so we can discuss your design and answer your questions.
You will also receive a handout so you can have the information for future reference.
Important: Participants should have photoshop installed (or another digital drawing programme that can export to PDF). If using an iPad Pro the app Procreate is recommended.
