Join our Riso tech & educator extraordinaire Noelle Dillman in learning the basic mechanics of how the risograph printer works. We will delve into the history and uses of this specialty analog/digital stencil-based printmaking device, covering: color drums, masters, ink, how the stencil is made, and printing using the scanner bed vs. network printing.
Each participant will print their own 8.5 x 11 2-color print to take home and use as a reference for future printing.
This workshop serves as a certification session for WCCW Workspace Members to gain access to the print lab equipment, as well as an informative skill share for all who are interested in the mysterious workings of this special machine.
