Print It Yourself: Screenprinting Workshop with The Rizzeria
Get tactile with screenprinting pros at the Rizzeria.
Overview
It's easy to DIY print these days, what with relatively cheap digital printers for when you want to turn those Fiji photos into a trio of canvases for the living room wall. But what if you're after something with a more hand-made aesthetic?
Cue The Rizzeria, a collective of Sydney self-publishers and printmakers based in Marrickville's creative studio space Join the Dots. The group owns a RP3700 Risograph, a machine that can photocopy or receive files via a computer, like its digital counterparts, but that prints using a custom-made stencil, one colour at a time. The gradual process of layering the eco-friendly ink means some layers mismatch, adding character to the finished piece.
Lucky for us, the Rizzeria team regularly make the machine publicly available through open workshops, like September's Print It Yourself. Just bring along a design (or use one of the templates available) and let the experts guide you through the hands-on process to create your own invites, posters, CD covers, greeting cards and more. Check out Rizzeria's Intagram for some inspiration.
