Workshop details

Time: 2,5h

In this workshop, Dasha and/or Diede will guide you through the process of making your own two-colour Risograph prints. You'll leave with 10 copies of your own design and the opportunity to share and collaborate with other participants.

The workshop begins with an introduction to the theory of Risography, followed by a demonstration of some examples. You'll then move on to drawing the first layer of your design using a variety of drawing tools including ink pens, pencils and crayons. Once the first layer is complete, you'll print it using Studio Vlinderboom's Riso-printer. 

Next, you'll make the second layer, possibly using a light box for precise alignment. After the second layer has been printed, there will be opportunities to print layers from different participants on top of each other, encouraging collaborative artwork.

The workshop concludes with a small exhibition where you can review and discuss your work with the group. Finally, you'll have the opportunity to exchange prints with others, so you can take home a variety of creations.

Throughout the workshop you'll gain practical skills in basic Risography techniques, creating layered designs and using texture and opacity to achieve unique effects. The workshop will take place in the inspiring environment of Baggerbeest, a cultural hotspot in Zeebrugereiland, providing the perfect backdrop for creativity.

Participants don't need to bring anything, but if you have favourite drawing materials, feel free to bring them along.

We hope to see you soon!
