2-Color Risograph Design on Paper

Description

Learn how to create designs for Risograph printing without going digital. You'll create a one-page design for two of the available inks for our Risograph machines. You'll also get to see how the machines work.

 

Designs will be 8.5" x 11" and you'll get guidance from Push/Pull's Riso wranglers.

 

Class includes all materials plus 10 prints of your work! You're encouraged to bring ideas of what you want printed. For ages 13+

 

RJ (she/him) has been learning various printmaking techniques for the past several years, and began printing on Risograph at Push/Pull in 2023. Now, she collages various printmaking techniques (block printing, botanical printing, and monotype) to create Riso designs.

 

Risograph printing is sometimes described as "digital screen printing," as the process is similar to traditional screen printing, but with the convenience of a copier. A riso printer only prints one color at a time and ink drums need to be swapped out for each color layer. This makes it ideal for limited palette works.
