Risography, named after Riso, a Japanese company that invented the technique, has lately become a popular printing technique among specialized publishers, designers, artists and illustrators. A risograph is an economical and environmentally friendly printer that facilitates printing in large quantities. It is able create a unique overlay of colours and thus a unique appearance of printed matter thanks to a special procedure that resembles silkscreen printing, while no chemicals or heat are needed for the application of colour.
Stripburger’s workshop is dedicated to comics-making by means of this special technique. The two-day workshop will start on 26th October in the SCCA premises in Metelkova, and it continues the day after in the premises of the Riso Paradiso studio in Tobačna. Workshop participants will visit the exhibition by Olivier Schrauwen on the first day and get acquainted there with the riso technique. After that they will draw their own comics, prepare them for printing and finally riso-print them as well.

The workshop is intended for participants with some comics-making and drawing skills. Application is mandatory. Number of participant spots: 8. Application and additional information: core@mail.ljudmila.org.
