Welcome to the Riso Club! This is members page which you will have access to for the rest of the year. Every month this page will be updated with the monthly theme, paper special as well as resources and or inspiration gathered for you. My plan is to keep developing this page so it becomes more interactive, with help of your feedback, but for now this will be the basic version.
Monthly Theme (optional): Every month you will find an optional theme. This is to help you in case you need some inspiration.
Paper: We print standard with Biotop 160gsm. Sometimes we have special paper that we will announce beforehand. You are welcome to bring your own paper as well, and if you’d like to use specific paper at the studio this will have extra costs.
Calendar (fixed): When you scroll down you will find printing session date as well as the deadline to send in your files. We use this information to have paper stock ready and plan the printing sessions.
Printing Session: Printing sessions will take place on the last Saturday of the months (with certain exceptions). You can decide to join the live session and print with us, or select the shipping option.
I will always print your work as long as you send it before the deadline.
Welcome to the April edition of Riso Club – our very first proper printing session at the new studio! With spring in full bloom and our new garden already buzzing with life, this month’s theme is:
Think beetles with shiny shells, dreamy moths, buzzing bees, dancing fireflies, or even a swarm of imaginary critters! Whether you love tiny details or bold patterns, insects offer plenty of fun directions to explore.
Please note: due to King’s Day celebrations on Saturday, we’ll be meeting on Sunday instead.
I hope you all have a wonderful time during the festivities – and I can't wait to hear all about it while we print together on Sunday!
