This workshop explores the use of a Risograph to create prints of photographs or illustrations.
A Risograph creates prints by making paper stencils which wrap around ink-filled drums. Paper is then fed through the Risograph and pressed against the spinning drums to create prints. Multiple colours can be built up through several passes through the machine.
Risographic printing is known for its grainy or halftone textures, its vibrant colours and its perfectly imperfect results.
Specialised software is used to create colour separations of photos to produce monotone and duotone prints. This will be available during the workshop.
Small workshops of three participants ensure focused engagement.
Participants will learn to:
- create separations of photographs and illustrations for Risograph printing.
- produce monotone and duotone prints on a Risograph.
- work with the unique qualities of Risograph printing in photographic practice.
