posted by Amber Weaver March 6, 2018

There are some very exciting events happening this month which we are proud to share with you. From the 23rd of March until the 13th of May, RISOTTO will be taking over Gallery 1 of the Lighthouse in Scotland for a jam-packed print programme and exhibition, celebrating all things risograph. Special workshops will be run by an assortment of talented guests including leading movers and shakers of the print world; CORNERS (South Korea), Atelier Bingo (France) and Wobby.club (Netherlands). All who will be focusing on specialist prepress techniques, playful collage, and a collaborative zine workshops, respectively.

In keeping with RISOTTO’s vibrant, patterned aesthetic the space will be coated in their iconic colourful patterns, packed with publications from all corners of the globe, extensive riso archives, machines, inks and enough colour to make your eyes go fuzzy. Throughout the two month term, the space will play host to a full programme of unique events with workshops including the very popular Poster Nights which will be 25 participants strong. In addition, this will be the first time these studios have delivered workshops in Scotland, offering a chance to learn from world-leading Risograph experts, so not to be missed!

And of course, they’ll be a party, two in fact! One to open the programme on the 23rd March and the second to mark the end of our special guests’ week on the 27th April. Come along to see live print demos, have a drink, chat, and be merry! Plus, this very special programme takes place during Glasgow International; a world-renowned biennial festival of contemporary art.
