In this two-day workshop, participants of all levels will be introduced to photographic Risograph printing using scanning and digital output for Risography. Printing modes will include one-color and two-color print separation processes, utilizing combinations of ink, including black, bright red, purple, white, and yellow. Participants will learn how to achieve the desired tonality in their prints. The workshop includes an introduction to Risograph history and printing examples, followed by a demonstration in Adobe Photoshop for prepress approaches, and one-on-one assistance for printing and proofing of each participant's photographs. Participants should come prepared with 3-4 photographs for the workshop and expect to leave with the competence to operate the Risograph duplicator. Introduction to Risography for Photo Printing is required for enrollment in Risography: Text, Image & The Book Form.

Tuition includes a $80 materials fee.
