notebook workshop!

with risography

In this workshop, we’ll make our own notebooks using recycled paper from our publications, surplus paper, and—if you’d like—paper you bring from home. For binding, we’ll have staplers, spiral binders, glue guns, and sewing machines available.

We’ll also use the risograph machine to print the cover and some interior pages in a single color.

No prior experience is necessary.

We recommend bringing a computer to create your designs.
