Riso Print Workshop

Come and try risograph printing in this hands-on workshop! We will be creating vibrant riso prints using two-layer paper collages, choosing two ink colours and exploring how patterns and shapes layer and interact on the page.

We’ll introduce the riso machine, show you how it works, and guide you through the full process — no experience needed.

Originally developed in Japan in the 1980s, risograph printing is loved for its bold colours, textured finish, and playful imperfections. The inks are soy-based, making them a more planet-friendly printing option.

Riso works in a way that’s similar to screen printing: each colour is printed separately using a stencil (called a master), with the paper passing through the machine once per colour to build up the final image through layers. This workshop will be a fun way to experiment, you never really know how it’s going to turn out! 🌀🌈

Please note: if you have any drawings, images, or materials you’d like to bring along to add into your collage for printing, feel free to bring them with you.

Venue accessibility: The venue is a ground-floor, accessible space, with an accessible toilet available via the rear entrance.
