About the Workshop:
Transform your Risograph skills from single prints to sequential storytelling. This intermediate workshop bridges printmaking and publishing, closing the gap between the screen and the press.
The course is built around two core skills: imposition and digital file preparation. You'll begin by folding, mapping, and sequencing pages by hand, so that the logic of multipage structure becomes physical and intuitive before it becomes digital. From there, you'll learn to translate that understanding into file preparation: separating artwork for Riso output, setting up channels and overprints, and executing the full print workflow from digital file to press. By the end of the weekend, you'll have moved through the complete production pipeline, and the decisions you make on screen will make sense because you've already made them with your hands.
Working collaboratively, you'll design, print, and bind complete eight-page zines, developing the problem-solving instincts that come from understanding every stage of the process.
This course is the prerequisite for Riso III: Experimental Color and Image Making, where students explore color separation, layering, and Riso's distinctive aesthetic possibilities. Students wishing to advance to Riso III should begin here.
Fun Fact: Risograph printing is favored by artists due to its ability to create interesting dynamics from the machine’s spot colors, the overprints, and the relationships between colors.
Required Materials:
- Pencil and paper for taking notes
- Students are encouraged to bring media such as watercolor, drawing pencils, photographs, collage, etc.
- Clothes that can get stained or dirty (CBA will provide aprons, but the ink used on press can stain)
All other materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.
