Intro to Riso II - Color Blending
Join us for an in-person event where we dive deeper into the colorful world of risograph printing. This workshop is designed for those who have already attended our first Intro to Riso session or have prior experience with risoprinting. Together, we’ll explore color gradients, blending, and advanced printing techniques to take your RISO skills to the next level.
This 4-hour workshop is taught in English. We’ll start with coffee and tea. We’ll review techniques like overprinting, dot screens, and color interactions, followed by file preparation and hands-on time at the risoprinter. Everyone will get a chance to print 6 copies of their own design using two RISO spot colors.
The workshop fee covers all materials (paper, ink, and printer usage), along with 6 A3 prints of your own design on EOS 90g or IBS 60g paper.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This course focuses on color techniques and assumes basic familiarity with the risograph. It covers file preparation (color separation and export process), but it does not cover the design process. Please make sure to bring to class a laptop with Adobe Photoshop installed (we’re going to need it to work on your files) and your finished design/image. Participants that don’t have their design/image ready won’t be able to take the class.
Not sure what to print? No problem—this workshop is all about color experimentation! We recommend starting with something simple, like a 2-color gradient poster or a bold shape layered over a gradient background. These designs are perfect for exploring how colors blend and interact in riso printing. Check out this pinterest board for simple 2-color Riso designs: https://pin.it/4cyvKvgTC.
