Riso Printing (Beginners) Class
28 April – 5 May 2026
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 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.
