Outlet is a risograph press and the studio of Kate Bingaman-Burt and Leland Vaughan! We print stuff, host workshops, make zines, and facilitate pop-ups and other events.

Risograph Printing

RISO printing is a fun and unique way to create beautiful art prints, posters, cards, zines, books, stationery, and more. A risograph is a machine that fuses the look and process of screenprinting and offset lithography with the convenience and speed of an office copier.

We offer workshops that teach the basics of this cool printmaking method and have in person appointments for you to realize your print projects!

Workshops & Events

Outlet hosts regular workshops, pop-up events, and more! We have several workshops per month, including our Riso Basics and Zine Making classes. We also frequently host poetry, art, collage, and other creative events and workshops.

We offer many in-person workshops as well as virtual programming and we’re always open to hosting private workshops for small teams and groups. Contact us! Due to COVID-19 we are still requesting masks be worn in our space to keep our most vulnerable community members safe.

Shop & Other Services

In addition to printing and workshops, you can shop our online store or visit our brick-and-mortar space for prints, cards, pins, and other goodies!

We also offer a variety of other services such as button making, binding & finishing, space rentals, consultations, and more!

You can make an appointment to shop our store, browse our zine library, or take advantage of any of our other offerings.

Take a workshop with us to learn about RISO printing, zine making, drawing, daily making & more!

Outlet is a community maker space working to increase access to print, facilitate events and pop-ups, and just create a place where creatives can come together!

 

Outlet opened in 2017 as Kate Bingaman-Burt’s private studio space where she could work on projects and host different events and workshops. Kate moved an old RC6300 RISO named Barbara in and began experimenting with risograph printing for her own work, then began teaching others how to print too!

As demand for classes and printing increased we grew into a printing press and community space! We’re now home to 4 RISO printers, a shop with prints and other goodies, a zine library with over 2,000 titles, and a LOT of paper.

This printmaking method combines aspects of screenprinting and offset lithography into something that looks sort of like a photocopier on the outside but is actually a dreamy one-of-a-kind print machine! It’s hands-on and experimental! Super textures and extra vivid colors! Transparent inks and overlays! Fast, affordable, and environmentally friendly!
