Intro To Riso Workshop
Sorry! We are currently at capacity. If you would like to be added to the waitlist, please email info@cyberlove.garden with feliztupe@gmail.com and jlsgalbraith@gmail.com in CC.
Cyber Love Garden will run a two part Risograph Workshop series for members and non-members. The goal is to introduce to Riso & Risa, our two in-house Risograph printers.
Session 1 (Saturday July 5, 12-3pm)
Covers the history of Risograph printers and a primer on the machine’s functionality. Participants will have the opportunity to perform printing tests via scanning and printing from the computer to better understand how it works through live interactive printing tests.
Session 2 (July 12, 12-3 pm)
Covers digital file preparation and formatting for a personal printing project of one to two colours. Participants will also be informed about studio protocols around Riso & Risa and how to access them. The objective of session 2 is to prepare participants to prepare and print a poster or image. (multi-page zines can not be covered in this session as it requires more time).
Session 3 (July 14, 5-9pm)
Consists of an open work session where participants can bring in their digital files or images to scan to actualize their prints.
Please Note
The first session is a prerequisite for the second so if you can not make one date, please know there will be another workshop made available in the fall. We want to prioritize people who can make it to all sessions!
Additionally, Cyberlove Garden is located directly below a dance studio, and there is occasionally noise. We have tried to select time slots where noise is minimal, but we cannot guarantee that there will be no disruptive thumping. If you are sound-sensitive, consider bringing earplugs.
Please contact us if you have any other accommodation requests.
