About this event Get a hands-on introduction to our Risograph at The Soapbox! Find out what a Risograph is, how it works, how to prepare art for it, and explore how to print with it. Participants can bring a prepared image or work on one during class. Over 3 hours we'll cover the basics of burning masters, digital vs. analog art, multi-color printing, registration, Riso printing quirks, maintenance, and other best practices. All students will get 20 copies of their art, plus assorted extra print samples. This workshop will give you the basic skills to incorporate Risography into your art practice. Please note: Masking is now encouraged, but optional in the studio space. Individuals who feel uncomfortable using the space with others unmasked, whether for health or any other reason, are welcome to request mask wearing while they are using the studio space.
