Workshop: Tell Your Story! Risograph Printing and Zine Making with Kate Bingaman-Burt & Leland Vaughan (3 weeks)
Overview
This workshop will focus on risograph printing and zine making, with an emphasis on using printmaking and books as vessels for your ideas and creative experiments. We’ll explore mark making, drawing, not-drawing, storytelling, collage, and more all through the lens of printing and zines! Zero drawing experience is needed—all are welcome! We kick perfectionism to the curb as we explore different materials, styles and concepts and make a collaborative riso-printed zine together. This workshop takes place primarily via Zoom with field trip dates to Bodecker and Outlet to be announced. Transportation stipends are available.
Monday and Weds 11-12:30pm | June 28, 30, July 7, 9, 12, 14 (no class Monday July 5; meets Friday July 9 instead)
