Risograph Workshops
Learn the basics of Risograph printing in hands-on workshops at Silly Gooze Editions. Our sessions are small, practical and designed so everyone has time to experiment, print and learn together.
Workshops currently focus on our Riso 101 introduction, where you’ll learn how the Risograph works, explore colour layering and create your own prints to take home. All materials are provided and no previous printmaking experience is required — just curiosity and a willingness to get a little ink on your hands.
