Analog RISO

Maximize your knowledge of analog riso scanning experimentation!

No laptops.

Bring whatever you'd like to scan (a lock of hair, a slingshot, your face), and learn how to use the old-school riso command operations on the display screen to produce experimental risoprints.

This is a collaborative session!
Participants will learn the riso-editing functions, including density control, curve manipulation, halftone control, and other editor collage commands all directly on the riso machine without touching a computer. Depending on the number of students, this course may be between 2-3 hours.

Everybody will leave with 5 risoprinted copies of a collective visual experiment.
