Max Participants: 8

This beginner-friendly workshop is perfect for anyone with little to no experience in risograph printing. We’ll cover the basics — think of this as Riso 101 — and you’ll get familiar with the mechanics of the machine and the unique qualities of the risograph process.

We’ll kick things off with a collaborative zine-making game called “Telephone Comic”, where each participant will contribute to an 8-fold zine. By the end, everyone will have the chance to print their own zine, exchange copies with others, and take home a collection of the collaborative zines made during the workshop.

All materials will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own paper, pens, pencils, markers, ink, brushes, or collage materials if you’d like to personalize your work.
