WHAT IS COLCHESTER MAKERSPACE?For those new to the concept, a Makerspace is simply a facility with shared access to workspace and tools for making. Established up and down the country, Makerspaces vary in size and the type of equipment they offer. From electronics and computing through to the more traditional metalwork and carpentry.Colchester Makerspace atTrinity Works, will specialise in providing access to Ceramics, Textiles and Printmaking equipment, such as kilns, silkscreens, letterpress and sewing machines, eventually expanding to more contemporary tools such as lasercutters and 3D Printers.We provide an exciting programme of classes and if you catch the bug and want to use the facility on a more regular basis, after completing a short induction, self-serve access to the space and some of its tools, will be available via a monthly membership, starting at just £15 per month for a light user.Our longer term ambition is to create a Colchester Campus with multiple sites across covering different specialisms.

Risograph printing is  often described as digital screen printing. Think screen printing but with the convenience of a photocopier.

Riso has a reputation as a DIY publishing process with vivid colours and stunning imperfections. A cheap method to produce zines, posters and short run art prints.In this workshop you will work with Associate Artist Heidi Sharp to use old-school cut-and-paste methods to design, produce and ‘copy’ your very own limited edition art print.Perfect as a 101 introduction to the principals of Riso or for those simply wanting to give the craft a go for the first time. About the Associate Artist leading the session: Heidi studied Fine Art and is inspired by the Pop Art movement and enjoys exploring the themes of social media and consumerism when working more conceptually. Printmaking allows her to tap into these themes given its trait of being able to print such large quantities at a fast pace, reflecting the mass produced element of both areas.
