Risograph Printing is a stencil based process which is perfect for making ZINES (mini-magazines). We will use the Risograph printer and it’s unique palette of inks to photocopy your artwork. You will work both collaboratively and individually to create copies of your ZINES!
What you will do…
You will explore different creative processes; collage, writing, illustration and design to make submissions for ZINES.
These submissions will be printed on our Risograph printer and you will learn about this unique process.
You will be shown different ways of folding and binding your publications and everyone will walk away with copies of what you make.
