Overview
Risograph printing combines the ease of a photocopier with the warmth and vibrancy of screen printing. This one day workshop will help you understand more about the process, and how to create riso ready artwork. 
Agenda:
- We'll start the workshop with a collaborative two colour print, to help you understand how our two colour risograph machines work.
- After this, you will have time to create your own artwork using a variety of collage materials and drawing tools. You're welcome to bring your own if you desire.
- In the afternoon, we will utilise the riso's built in scanbed to translate your work into a riso print. Four different colour combos will be available for you to choose from, and you'll take home 10 copies of your two-colour risograph print!
Details:
We'll meet in room W237, Floor 2 (in the workshop block, near the Kit Room). The workshop starts at 10:00 am and finishes at 4:30 pm, which includes a 1-hour lunch break. All UAL international students are welcome to book a ticket, regardless of whether you are studying at the London College of Communication. Please just remember to bring your ID card to get through the barriers. No prior knowledge of risograph is required; open to all.
For this workshop, tickets include a £5 deposit, which will be refunded upon attendance. This workshop is open only to current international students studying at UAL. Due to government-set visa restrictions, international students are not able to apply for our selling opportunities, such as our recent Print Fair. We hope this is an offer to international students to help try to rebalance our programme offer.
