Mom's day special: Intro to Risograph workshop at Studio Vlinderboom
11mei
13:30 - 15:30
Rudi Van Dantzigstraat 9, 1095 PK Amsterdam, Netherlands
Description
Welcome to the Introduction to Risograph workshop at Studio Vlinderboom! Join us at Broedplaats Baggerbeest for a fun and creative experience. Learn all about Risograph printing and how to create unique prints using this cool technique.
No experience necessary, just come with an open mind and a desire to learn something new. See you there!
We are excited to invite you to this introductory workshop in our cozy riso studio space.
In this workshop, we will guide you through the process of making your own two-colour Risograph prints - using scrap paper to make collages! You'll leave with 10 copies of your own design and have the opportunity to share and collaborate with other participants.
This mom's day event we have space for three duo's. We designed it especially for (grown-up) children and their moms. It's a very accesable workshop for all levels. To keep the price accessible too, we added a very rare discount. You can buy a duo tickets (one for you, one for your mom) for 75 euros - a gift to your mom and to yourself simultaneously!
The workshop begins with an introduction to the theory of Risography, followed by a demonstration of some examples. You'll then move on to making the first layer of your design using a scap paper to make a collage. Once the first layer is complete, we'll go to printing with Rita (our risoprinter)
Next, you'll make the second layer, possibly using a light box or transparant paperfor 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 Zeeburg, providing the perfect backdrop for creativity.
Participants don't need to bring anything
We hope to see you soon!
