Ready to understand Riso colour on a whole new level? 🌈😎✌🏽

Our 4-week Colour Mixing Course is all about learning how Riso inks really work together: from prepping your layers and colour overlaps to printing order, gradients and building your own colour combinations. ✨

Over four Saturday mornings, we’ll dive deeper into colour mixing, create useful colour references and learn how to plan your designs with the final print in mind. You’ll then put everything into practice with a personal project of your own.

And because we’re learning together, there’ll be plenty of time to share results, compare combinations and learn from each other along the way. 💛

Perfect if you already have some experience with Riso and want to take your skills further!

💻 This is a digital course, so you will need a laptop or iPad and be comfortable working in Photoshop, Procreate or similar software.

4 Saturday mornings this October, starting on the 10th.  More info & booking via the link in bio ✨

Also big shout out to our poster child @pazurmazur who’s process, from the last course, we’re sharing here 😉😙 taken in Amsterdam, Netherlands by @riso_pop

POP NEWS 33rd issue is out! 🍂🚲

September was a tornado of workshops, courses, markets and lovely encounters! That month went by in the blink of an eye ;)

September’s colour combo is Teal & Fluo Orange! And yes, our Fluo Orange drum is finally back in action, brighter than ever! ❤️‍🔥

The cover features a gorgeous illustration by Finish illustrator @ossyhello inspired by his recent trip to Amsterdam! 💫

Inside, you'll find all about our Market Madness, from our own @maasstraat market to @crosscomix.rdam in Rotterdam, Bijdehand market in @qruamsterdam and the Volkshotel @werkplaats_amsterdam in Amsterdam!

We also welcomed our new French intern @clara_di_luna who designed the wonderfully chimeric poster inside this issue! 🌌

Last but not least, check out our October workshop calendar! The month has already started, but there are still a few spots available. Come and join us! ☕

See you at the studio or in the shop! 💌

New faces at the studio! ✨

For this Fall/Winter season we are welcoming Clara & Lucile as part of our intern team 🔥🙌🏽 coincidentally both from the same city in France, they have found each other again in this small studio in Amsterdam 😉

✨ Lucile (on the right): “Heyy everyone, I am a 20 years old french recent graduate. I enjoy immersing myself in new environments and meeting new people who fuel my creative inspiration and broaden my horizons, so I am eager to meet everyone during the upcoming workshops ☺️

✨ Clara (on the left): “Hi! I can’t believe it’s already been a month since I joined Riso Pop as the new intern! I’m officially hooked and so excited to keep diving deeper into the beautifully wild and unpredictable world of Risography.”⚡️

Welcome to you both! by @riso_pop

✨What’s your recipe for the everyday?
A recipe doesn’t have to be about food. It can be a recipe for a good morning, for friendship, for getting unstuck, for making change, or anything you’d like to share or pass on.

Next weekend, April Gertler from WIRWIR Berlin is joining us at Riso Pop for two creative mornings of experimenting with ideas, image, text and Riso printing.

Everyone will create their own “recipe”, and together we’ll print and bind them into one collective Riso zine, with 5 copies for each participant to take home! 💌

No previous Riso experience needed!

📅 19 + 20 September ⏰ 10:00–14:30 📍 Riso Pop, Amsterdam
 🐦 Early Bird €95 until September 11th

Come make a recipe with us! Book your spot via the link in bio.
