RISO BASICS is a foundation-level workshop facilitated by Diana Chu and Ben Grzenia of BearBear (www.bearbear.co). This class is designed for beginners who want to understand what Risograph prints have to offer and how Risography translates visual information onto the page. Students leave with: A short history of Riso, a comprehensive understanding of how a one-color riso machine works, plus ten copies of a single two-color 11”x17” print that they design in class. We use analog media + the scanning bed to make our prints! Those with minimal Riso experience are encouraged to join. No artistic or printmaking background necessary. Recommended for ages 16 and up. All materials are provided, no preparation needed. Masks are currently optional but welcome. Minimum of 2 students to run the class. No refunds or exchanges.
