About the Workshop:
Riso printing stands out as one of the most environmentally conscious printing methods available today. Using inks derived from rice bran—a typically discarded byproduct—the process avoids harsh chemical fixers, which are some of the most harmful ingredients in conventional inks. The Riso printer also uses minimal energy, consuming no more than a standard lightbulb. Even the masters, which carry the images, are made from banana fiber, further enhancing its sustainable footprint. Everything about Riso printing is thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind—even the waste it generates has a unique beauty and creative potential!
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore inventive ways to reuse and repurpose Riso “trash,” such as empty ink tubes and used master sheets. Together, we’ll design new forms and applications for these materials, discovering how even the byproducts of the process can inspire fresh creations. By the end of the session, each participant will craft a unique illuminating object to take home, giving new life to Riso’s colorful leftovers.
Required Materials
All materials will be provided by the Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.
