Doodlefest
Make your own pink eraser stamp art! Inspired by Serena Rios McRae’s Pink Eraser Art Community (@pinkeraserart), we will first doodle a design on paper, transfer it to a Pink Pearl eraser and then carve that design into the eraser with linocut tools. Once the eraser is carved with the design, we will roll ink over it and make a small block print!
Riso 102: Digital Techniques
It’s time to riso-fy your life! Learn to print full color photos, illustrations and designs with the faux CMYK riso printing method. Students will learn to separate their image into 4 color layers, showcasing the color blending capabilities of layering risograph inks. Students will learn how to operate, troubleshoot, and register their designs through the risograph machine.
This method is ideal for printing full-color photographs, scanned artwork (paintings, collages, etc.) and colorful digital illustrations. We'll use concepts of CMYK printing so this class is great for those interested in learning about basic digital design for riso printing!
Students should come to the workshop with a completed design file ready for printing. Finished prints will be 3 – 4 colors and students get to take home 30 copies of their work.
