Open riso workshop - prices and booking

During this spring and autumn we hold an open riso workshop and creative hang out on the first Monday of each month. This is for those of you who want to learn more about and explore the magical possibilities of the riso technique. In addition to the monthly open workshop, we will also offer riso workshops in collaboration with various artists over the next three years.

Open riso workshop is a new and creative joint workshop that is open for experimentation and exploration of risography. For those of you who need access to a riso duplicator for production, we offer rental of the machine with a workshop foreman at artist-friendly prices. Discounted prices for members! For more information about rental contact: formidling@kunstnerneshus.no

Risography is an environmental-friendly and sustainable graphic printing method performed with a digital stencil duplicator, characterized by bright colors. These colors are printed layer by layer, and can be reminiscent of screen printing or offset, but the ink is based on soybeans or rice and biodegradable. The Riso machine uses little electricity, as unlike other laser printers it does not need to heat up. Risography is a cost-effective method, which can produce quality prints without major financial burdens. Unlike toner-based printers, Riso printers are free from ozone emissions, toner particle emissions, silica dust and other air pollutants. Riso printers do not emit greenhouse gases.

Thanks to Sparebankstiftelsen DNB for making this project possible.

Use of the workshop during the day between 9 am - 4 pm is only available on Mondays.

Prices include guidance from the workshop master and test paper. For other material costs, see the price list.
