WHEN: Saturday, February 24th, 2024 »» 1 PM - 4 PM
WHERE: Colusa County Arts Council (151 Fifth Street, Colusa, CA 95932)
WHO: You!
PRICE: Free!

In this workshop you’ll learn what a Risograph is, how it works, what makes it special, and you’ll create a poster or postcard advocating for environmental action.

I’ll show you some Riso print examples, share some favorite mark making tools and illustration techniques, and we’ll walk through a print demo using the Risograph. We’ll focus on ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION as the subject matter of our prints and use this time for creative EXPERIMENTATION. You’ll draw, you’ll paint, you’ll collage, you’ll stamp, we’ll talk about ways we can take care of our planet and in the end you’ll take home a beautiful Risograph print edition to share with your family, friends, and community.

Seating is limited, please register to attend below.

This activity is funded in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency, through the Upstate California Creative Corps program. With special thanks to the Colusa County Arts Council.

What to bring:

  • We’ll provide a bunch of mark making tools, pens, paper, collage materials, inks and more, so no need to bring a thing!

  • You're welcome to bring your favorite drawing tools (darker colors closer to black, dark blue, red, and green work best with the riso).

Skill Level:

  • Beginner to expert! This is a great introductory class if you want to exercise your creativity and get started with printmaking, but I’ll dedicate some time for Q&A at the end of the workshop for more seasoned print enthusiasts to dig deeper.
