In this workshop, Tim Robertson will help us create and print a
collaborative zine using a risograph—essentially an old, large office
printer that creates prints similarly to screenprinting.
Each participant will create one page of the book around the theme of maps through drawing, collage, writing, etc. that will then be scanned
on the risograph, printed on colorful paper, and bound together.
Participants will take home a few copies of the finished zine.
Drawing and collaging supplies will be provided. Feel free to bring your
own images and supplies as well.
The $10 covers supplies, printing, and compensation. Registration is limited
to 12 people.
Note that we’ll meet at Misc. Goods Co. (1133 S. Shelby St.), just a
block down from the church. Street parking is limited, so please
consider parking in the church parking lot.
About the Theme
We use maps to know where we are, where we’ve been, where we’re
going. They show us the shape of the land, where treasure is buried and
the location of the next gas station. Some maps exist only in our heads,
and some of the best journeys happen without them.
We’ll make an atlas of sorts with each of us free to interpret the
theme. Trace the landmarks of your favorite place, describe the way to
something you buried, draw a map of your sock drawer or of your
mind.
