Welcome to our workshop on Riso Zine-making!

Thuesday evenings: 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th of January

Join us for a focused, hands-on course designed to help you bring your zine idea to life! Over four Tuesday evenings, you’ll develop a unique zine from concept to completion, diving into every step of the process:

• Idea Development: Shape your vision and explore themes for your zine.

• Format and Design: Choose the right layout, construct templates, and prepare your files for Riso printing.

• Printing with Riso: Learn the essentials of Risograph printing as a production tool.

• Bookbinding: Assemble your zine with finishing techniques that make it stand out.

Unlike our 6-week course, this shorter program focuses on creating one final product, perfect for those looking to refine their zine-making skills or delve into self-publication with Riso printing.

How is this course set up?

• The course begins with a burst of inspiration: we’ll explore a variety of zines, discussing their formats, layouts, and unique features. This session also introduces you to the Risograph printer, with tips on how to maximize its creative potential and key considerations for Riso printing your zine.
  
  

• Next, we delve into the technical side of zine-making. You’ll learn how to set up templates effectively and navigate the journey from concept to a well-thought-out design. We’ll workshop your ideas, exploring ways to enhance your zine with creative details and thoughtful storytelling. File prep is also part of this stage.
  Be aware you will also need to make some time outside the course to work on your project.
  

• In the final stage, it’s all about production. You’ll get hands-on experience with Riso printing, as well as folding, cutting, and binding techniques to transform your work into a finished, professional-quality zine.
