This intermediate workshop bridges printmaking and publishing, closing the gap between the screen and the press.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe course is built around two core skills: imposition and digital file preparation. You'll begin by folding, mapping, and sequencing pages by hand, so that the logic of multipage structure becomes physical and intuitive before it becomes digital. From there, you'll learn to translate that understanding into file preparation: separating artwork for Riso output, setting up channels and overprints, and executing the full print workflow from digital file to press. By the end of the weekend, you'll have moved through the complete production pipeline, and the decisions you make on screen will make sense because you've already made them with your hands.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorking collaboratively, you'll design, print, and bind complete eight-page zines, developing the problem-solving instincts that come from understanding every stage of the process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis course is the prerequisite for Riso III: Experimental Color and Image Making, where students explore color separation, layering, and Riso's distinctive aesthetic possibilities.
