The International Printing Museum, in Carson, California, has one of the largest collections of antique printing presses in the United States. We offer educational programs for school groups at the Museum, and also have a Colonial-style printing press on a trailer that can travel to schools and public events for living history programs.
Description
Join us on Sunday, January 18, for a special presentation by RISO Studio Art's Jun Ha & David Bow, who will discuss how the Risograph’s growing popularity is reflected in independent publishing, art book/zine production, and the rise of art book and print fairs around the world. Jun & Dave will also describe their work connecting artists, small presses, nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions with Risograph technology — and how access to these tools supports experimental and collaborative publishing. Following the talk, we'll head to the Museum's Book Arts Lab for a practical demonstration of our RISO SF5130 duplicator, allowing participants to experience the Risograph printing process and explore its creative possibilities. RISO Studio Arts will have printed works and publications on display and for sale. The event begins promptly at 2pm, and there will be light refreshments served during the hands-on activities. The festivities will end at about 5pm.
Jun Ha & Dave Bow are co-dounders of and resident instructors at RISO Studio Arts, a community-centered printmaking studio in Los Angeles and Portland, as well asauthorized representatives of RISO Kagaku Corp.
The International Printing Museum is home to the Book Arts Institute, which hosts half-day, full-day, and multi-day workshops in letterpress printing, paper marbling, screen printing, collaging, bookmakings, paper making, and more!
