About the Workshop
It’s a riso potluck! Bring the memory of a dish, snack, flavor or ingredient that resonates with you to honor during our workshop. After sharing, collaging, crafting, giggling, printing and maybe even snacking as a group, you’ll walk away with a unique and collaborative pack of bound recipe cards!
In this workshop we will explore the intersection of community and risograph printing in collaborative making! As a group, we’ll share what our chosen dish means to us and explore the possibilities of translating it visually into collage. As we experiment with cut paper, each participant will focus on creating a two color recipe card composition. As a group, we’ll choose two colors to risograph print our zine, create a communal cover, and learn how to coil bind it all together.
Walk away with a coil bound, ten page two-color risograph zine full of meaningful and handmade recipe cards from our community!
Supplies Needed
We’ll supply all collage materials you may need, but if you have any specific ephemera or materials that you would like to use specifically for your recipe card, please bring them!
