Atelier : Découverte de la risographie

This workshop introduces participants to risograph printing through the creation of a two-color image inspired by summer holidays.

Children will build their compositions using a selection of shapes, images, and creative tools provided during the session, while adults will have the opportunity to develop a more personal project using the available materials, their own drawings, or printed images they bring with them.

The artworks will then be digitized and printed, allowing everyone to take home a unique graphic keepsake of the summer.

From file preparation to final printing, every step of the workflow will be covered, enabling participants to produce an edition of thirty prints of their own image.
