Saturday 22 June 2024 | 1pm – 4pm

Risographs are an increasingly popular printing method for artists and designers, utilising a stencil printing method to build up layers of vibrant colour. They offer a fun & quick way to create a unique set of prints.

In this completely computer free session you will learn how the risograph works and create imagery to make your own 2 colour postcards. Create a set of up to 4 designs and then print out 10 of each postcard.*

All materials will be provided, including collage and drawing tools. There’s no need to bring anything to this session but you are welcome to bring any favourite materials or previous artwork you would like to work from.

Foundation Press will be running the session, they have been working with risographs and art education for 10 years, creating artworks, publications and graphic design.

*It will be possible to print more than 10 if desired with a contribution towards the extra material costs.
