of the text and design their own spread. A collaged image layer will be made with open sourc ornamental design elements and printed in one colour on the scan bed. The text layer will be designed digitally on indesign and printed in a secondary colour from a computer file. This text / image publication will be assembled and bound during the workshop.
Takeaway: Participants will practise playing with text/image in an experimental way. They wil consider the use of public domain resources and repurposing pre-existing material. They will build collaborative skills and gain knowledge on risograph printing and self-publishing.

Group Workshop
Facilitated by Bruise Studio
Join us for a hands-on, beginner-friendly two-day workshop exploring two beautiful, complementary art forms — printmaking and bookbinding — with an emphasis on creativity, experimentation, and DIY techniques you can recreate at home.
You can sign up for either one day or both — each day works as a standalone session, but together they make a wonderfully connected creative journey.
(10/2, 630-930) Monotype Printing for Beginners & Beyond
We’ll dive into the versatile, painterly world of monotype printing — a process beloved by beginners for its immediacy and by seasoned artists for its endless creative possibilities. Using accessible tools and materials, we’ll explore multiple approaches to creating prints.
(10/3, 630-930) Japanese Stab-Binding
On the second day, we’ll shift from prints to pages. Using some of the prints you’ve created, we’ll explore two styles of Japanese stab-binding: the classic four-hole binding and a more decorative, ornamental variation.
We’ll discuss both traditional methods and creative adaptations, so whether you’re making a simple sketchbook at home or crafting a refined, exhibition-ready artist’s book, you’ll have the techniques you need.
