What is a Risograph duplicator, and why is it all the rage? The Riso is a Japanese stencil duplicator that blends the functionality of photocopying with the artistry of screen printing. This workshop introduces the requisite skills and best practices for Risograph printing, safe use of the studio cutters, and the Book Arts Studio Use policies. After completing the workshop, participants are invited to apply for independent studio use to produce individual projects. Approved independent users have access to the machine during open studio hours and pay a fee of $10/hour plus materials.
