RIZINE 101 with Norfolk Zine Fest
Instructor: Rich Justis
Monday, May 19 at 6 p.m.
studioSHIFT is teaming up with Norfolk Zine Fest to bring you a riso-zine workshop! Learn how to apply riso to your zines to become self-published!
Risograph printing is a technique best described as ‘digital screen printing.' The process is much like screen printing, but with the convenience of an office copier. It’s known for its vivid colors and its specific textures. These machines deliver ‘perfect imperfections’ and provide a cheap and easy method for reproducing work at large quantities, like posters, prints and zines.
This in person workshop focuses on the basic techniques for risograph printing. Participants can use digital or hand drawn elements or a combination of both, to create a large edition one-page artist zine, where personal content will be explored. This workshop is open to both beginner and advanced artists.
Students will learn how to layout their publication as well as operate, troubleshoot, and register each page through the risograph machine. The workshop will end with a fresh zine swap! Finished prints will be 1 color and students get to take home 50 copies of their zine.
