2 Sessions 
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.

All sessions are in person at SRC in *Bushwick.

This workshop is an introduction to the riso printing process with the purpose to give participants the understanding of the process, confidence and ability to operate and handle the machine.

Risograph printing gives its users the means to produce their own art prints, books and zines with a unique vibrant and textural printing style. While Riso was originally intended for document printing, you’ll learn how to push the printing technique to create printed matter that stands out. This course is for designers, artists and creatives who value producing their own work from start to finish.

The class will teach:

• A brief history of the machine & technique
• The parts, supplies and operation of the machine
• Digital file preparation for a 2 color print
• Best practices for setting up files and printing
• Techniques for maximizing the effect of 2 colors through opacities, overlay, & knockout

Best for:
Participants with basic knowledge of Photoshop and a desire to learn how Riso works. This is the first course for those wanting to learn how to operate the machine independently

Takeaway:
You will leave the class with 10 copies of your 2 color poster printed on Mohawk cardstock
