Riso Printing (Beginners)
Learn all about the wonderful world of Risograph printing and create multilayered prints.
‘Riso’ is a fast-paced process that uses soy based inks and recycled paper. This course is perfect for using all kinds of hand drawn techniques and collage to create richly coloured multi-layered prints.
You'll learn how to prepare your design by using collage, drawing, and painting in colour-separated layers. Then you'll print your design by choosing from our selection of bright colours.
This was absolutely wonderful – had no idea how good it was going to be so informative.
Informative & relaxed. Appreciated the repetition from week to week that revised the technical aspect whilst building up a print.

Need to know
- What to bring
It’s best to come with an idea of what you’d like to make. Bring along a selection of your work you’d like to work with, e.g. sketchbooks, photos, paintings. We won’t be working with digital files.
- What to wear
We'll provide aprons and gloves but recommend wearing old cloths as printmaking can be messy. Please note that open-toed footwear and sandals are not allowed.
- Food & drinks
A sealed water flask or drinking vessel is permitted but other food and drinks are not allowed in the studio.
