Risograph Structures – Caroline Kern

Dates: July 14– July 18, 2025
Studio: Silkscreen (Second Floor, located up one flight of stairs*)
Tuition: Sliding Scale, $450 – $1300
Lab Fee: $150
Class limit: 6

Is it a book? Is it a sculpture? Could it be both? Come learn the basics of Risograph while also experimenting with structure and form through folded paper! In this workshop we will go over the basics of the Risograph machine, a brief history of stencil duplicators (Risograph), and experiment with folded forms to help participants wrap their minds on how to plan, design, and then print their sculptural books. Templates will be provided to participants prior to the workshop, though participants can work on their own designs if they like. This workshop is for both newbies, as well participants who have used stencil duplicators before, and for anyone who would like to create books that break out of traditional formats, and/or are into creating paper sculptures without a narrative. Participants will complete a small edition of their projects and leave with a basic foundation of one to two color Risograph printing, as well as basic paper folding technique.

In order to reserve your space in the class, we require a $250 nonrefundable deposit. WSW offers a sliding tuition model for the Summer Art Institute, and you can pick your desired tuition level from the drop-down menu at check-out.
