Introduction to Risograph

January 18th, 6-8pm: online via Zoom
January 25th, 6-9pm: in-person at Lawndale Art Center (or TPM)

All times are US/Central time zone

Are you curious about the risograph? This course offers a basic overview of this fantastically accessible machine and its many functions, as well as personalized instruction to meet your project goals. Whether you’re interested in making zines, hand drawn prints, or photographic work – all levels and ideas are encouraged.

In this hybrid workshop, the first class will meet online over Zoom to go over where risography fits into the history of printmaking, go over the process, and discuss your project goals. The second class will meet at the Lawndale Art Center (unless The Printing Museum is open by then) for in person instruction to complete your print edition.

Levels: All experience levels welcome. No Riso experience necessary.

Equipment: Our riso is an EZ220u, which prints images up to 8 x 14 inches. We will have three color drums: fluorescent pink, sunflower, and mint. These drums mix beautifully and can approximate full color. 

Materials: for the first week (meeting online), all you’re required to have is access to Zoom. During that meeting the instructor will discuss what optional materials you may want to bring to the in-person studio session the following week, such as larger paper. 8.5 x 11 printer paper is provided.


Location: the first workshop session will meet online; the following week’s session will meet in person at Lawndale Art Center, 4912 Main St, Houston, TX 77002 (not The Printing Museum).

Members receive a 10% discount. Become a member today! Members must log in to activate the discount. If you don’t have a login, please contact us at info[at]printingmuseum.org.

About the instructor: Chelsea Clarke is a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky in Lexington, where she investigated the intersections of various media such as print, fibers, ceramics, and drawing. Her conceptual practice mirrors this multidisciplinary approach as it focuses on discrete yet intertwining identities and their effect on her daily life. She attended undergraduate at Virginia Commonwealth University where she also finished a post-Baccalaureate degree in Nonprofit Management, which she plans to use in order to found a radically accessible artist residency. As a Houston native, she is thrilled to return to her hometown and become a part of Texas’ vibrant artistic community.
