Risograph printing, or ‘riso’ as it’s affectionately known, is a popular printing technique known for its vivid colours and rich textures. Developed in Japan in the 80s, riso printing allows for complex designs which are built up from a stencil using layers of colour. Using rice bran oil based inks, the printing technique is sustainable and unique.

In this workshop you will learn how to make the most out of riso printing and how to avoid common mistakes. You will make small print runs of a single colour and 2 colour print.

Participants can pre-prepare their drawings and email them through, or bring on a USB stick. A PC with Photoshop CC will be provided, however it’s recommended to bring your own equipment to avoid any compatibility issues or to allow you to create or tweak your drawing on the day. More information on workshop specifics can be found here.
