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.

Lindsay Buchman is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and publisher living in Brooklyn, NY. Her work explores image-making and writing through print and lens-based media, artist books, and installation. Pivoting between text and image, she is primarily concerned with the intersections of language, intersubjectivity, and site to puncture a sense of concrete time and space—both cognitive and embodied.

Buchman holds an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania and a BFA from California State University Long Beach. Exhibitions of her work include the Penumbra Foundation; San Francisco Center for the Book; TILT Institute for the Contemporary Image; LA Art Book Fair at The Geffen Contemporary, MOCA; New York Art Book Fair, MoMA PS1; Tokyo Art Book Fair, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo; SPRINT Milano, Spazio Maiocchi. She has participated in artist talks and panels at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia, and the International Center of Photography. Her work is included in collections at the New York Public Library, SFMOMA, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Harvard University, and the University of Pennsylvania. She is a recipient of the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship and the Flaherty Fellowship, and her work has been featured in Hyperallergic and The Hopper Prize Journal. Buchman has been an artist-in-residence at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Lower East Side Printshop, and the Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University. She is currently a Visiting Artist-in-Residence at Skidmore College. As an extension of her practice, she runs an independent artists' books and publications project, Seaton Street Press, to collaborate with artists through publishing and distribution.
