About the Workshop

New workshop alert!! Join us for a new advanced risograph workshop! Learn how to use traditional frame animation techniques and learn the process for making hand drawn flip-book animations that are then riso printed!

In this class, students will learn how to use frame animation techniques to draw out animations frame-by-frame. There will be examples of hand drawn and printed flip-books for inspiration and ideas. After printing editions of their frame-by-frame contact sheets on the risograph, students will learn the process of assembly and binding to make the flip books come to life!

At the end of class, students will get to take away their trimmed and bound flip-books and a copy of the contact sheets from other members of the class.
