Come experience all the fun of Riso printing without computers involved! This is an introductory workshop for Riso first timers but also a good chance for those who might have overlooked the built in features of the Riso machine. We will learn how to make the most of your Riso printing whether you are scanning watercolor, collage, drawings, or your analog photographs.
Sharpies and copy paper will be provided. Students are welcome to bring other media (such as watercolor, drawing pencils, photographs, etc.)
