Combining the best of both worlds Photography and Risography! This IS the workshop you have been craving. In this exciting two session workshop participants will bring a camera of their choice and are encouraged to photograph and print from source material in their immediate environment. Time will be spent in the workshop sourcing imagery and learning how to setup an image as a 4-color print. Participants are encouraged to make a series of prints or publish their photographs as a book project or animation.

Programs that will be used / instructed in the class

• Adobe Photoshop

• Spectrolite

• Procreate

Course outline:
Day One:
• Presentation on examples of riso printed photographic work, and basic operations of risograph printer.
• Participants will then break to source images tied to a theme to turn into photographic works.
• 1:1 time with each participant for file setup and time on the risograph.

Day Two:
Students can source more imagery and create a project based off a project of their choosing. Using imagery previously sourced is also allowed but we encourage the idea of connecting the project to the new studio space.

Supplies: All Riso supplies (masters, paper, inks) will be provided from our current stock. Participants that require a particular color and paper weight should plan to provide their own paper as our current stock is limited to a few colors. Participants should bring a camera of their choice and a laptop computer if they have one. Several computers will be available for use on site as well.

Class size is limited to ensure individual attention.
