graphic experimentation with riso!

riso printing summer workshop (morning sessions)

Over the course of three sessions, we’ll learn how to use the Riso printer and create a two-color poster featuring our own design.

We’ll experiment with different graphic elements (analog and digital) to create a unique poster. You can come with a design already sketched out or create one during the course.

At the workshop, we’ll have various analog materials such as typefaces, cutouts, and collages to help us create our designs.

No prior knowledge of risography or design is required, as this is an introductory workshop. Although risography is an analog technique and designs can be created by hand, the files will need to be digitized and edited. For this reason, you’ll need to bring your own laptop with Photoshop installed and have some prior knowledge of the program.

The course will be led by Marian Vélez, a Risograph workshop instructor at La Escocesa.
