Bursting with charm, color, and bold imperfection, Risograph printing sits at the intersection of analog texture and digital design. Think screen printing meets the photocopier—vibrant, layered, and irresistibly fun. In this three-session workshop, you’ll learn how to bring your ideas to life using this unique and expressive printmaking process. The first session will meet at Mad Dog Studio where participants will learn about the Risograph process. The second and third sessions will meet at Fleisher in the digital lab where students will learn how to create analog and digital layers to print their own Risograph images. Students will submit their files to be printed at the last session and prints will be available for pick up at Fleisher's front desks when printing is complete. While it is not required, we strongly recommend that participants come to the class with sketches, or a concept for a print they’d like to create

What you will learn:
1. An introduction to Risograph printing process and history.
2. How to prepare digital and analog files for multi-layer Risograph printing.
3. About possible color and paper combination for printing a 2–3 color Risograph edition.

Note that this classroom is accessible by stairs only; please contact Fleisher for more information. All participants will receive information on the location of Mad Dog Studio (located in the Point Breeze neighborhood) prior to the first session.
