Introduction to Risography (analogue version!)

Registration for Grafia’s autumn courses opens on Wednesday, August 27 at 10:00 in Grafia’s online store. Please note that registration requires logging in with your member credentials.

Friday 26.9. 17–19 and Fri 3.10. 17–21
If By Magic – Vuosaarentie 7, 00980 Helsinki

Join us to learn the fundamentals of risography, a fascinating printing process where colours, textures, and small surprises come together in unique ways. In this two-part workshop, you will explore the basics of risography—how a Riso machine works and how to prepare and print your two-colour artwork.

We will also delve into the distinctive characteristics of riso printing—its rich textures, vibrant colours, and subtle imperfections that make it so captivating. This workshop uses the risograph’s scanner, enabling participants to create materials entirely by hand, without any digital devices. The course will be conducted in English.

The workshop is led by Robin Clifford Ellis, a printmaker and founder of If By Magic Risoprint Studio.

Note! Members travelling from outside of the Helsinki metropolitan area to attend the workshop qualify for travel aid (max. 120 €), according to the least expensive public transportation method. Please note that this does not include HSL tickets. Get in touch with Grafia’s office beforehand: grafia@grafia.fi.
