Make a visually striking looped animation using Risograph printing techniques, in one day.
All analogue - no computers! …Maybe a sneaky phone will be involved to record your moving image, if you wish.
 
This course is beginner friendly! & suitable for individuals with all types of printmaking experience.
 
Included:
- Swatch Book of Underbank Studios Riso colours & blending examples
- Practical printing guide PDF written and designed by Heather
- Paper for the course, inks, tracing paper and drawing materials to use.
 
At the end of the course you will have made the following with Heather’s support:
 
- Tests & rough frames for the moving image
- Your own two colour risograph printed zoetrope, a.k.a ‘looped animation’.
- 10 copies of your zoetrope, these extra copies you may want to sell, or use in other creative projects, scanning in the frames, or giving as gifts.
 
Step 1:
A short introduction to basics of risograph printing, including an overview of layering and blending from Heather. We will then talk through the ideas for your animation & start sketching.
 
Step 2:
Continuing drawing, painting, collaging or painting your designs onto paper & tracing paper.As well as refining them with Heather's guidance on layering, opacity and colour blending. Some participants may be ready to print their first layer by this point
 
Step 3:
Finishing off creating your zoetrope frames, and printing the first layers of your designs. Testing the moving image through spinning and recording a video.
 
Step 4:
Printing the Second colour layer of your designs.
 
Step 5:
Recording the zoetrope if you wish on your phone.
