Book a hands-on Risograph workshop at Silly Gooze Editions. Our workshop calendar shows all upcoming sessions in Riso printing, experimental printmaking and artist bookbinding, all held in our Northamptonshire studio. Workshops are kept intentionally small so everyone has time to learn, experiment and Riso together.

Sessions range from beginner introductions like Riso 101 to book-arts workshops exploring techniques such as concertina folds and Japanese stab binding. All materials are provided, and no previous printmaking experience is required! Just curiosity and a willingness to get a little ink on your hands.

If a workshop is currently full, you can join the waiting list or check back soon for new dates.

What you can learn in our Risograph workshops:

• How the Risograph printer works.

• How to build images using multiple ink layers.

• Choosing and combining ink colours for strong visual results.

• How to work with Riso’s unique textures, offsets and happy accidents.

• How to Design and print covers for zines or artist books.

• Practical bookbinding methods.

• Tips for preparing artwork for your future Riso print projects.
