Join us for a family friendly workshop on the RISO printer for a rowdy game of Exquisite Corpse. Participants will partake in a collaborative drawing game creating exciting creatures which they will then print on our multicolour risograph printer and bind as an exciting mix and match monster book to take home.

All ages welcome!

Children under 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

All materials will be provided and participants will be able to help create and take home unique RISO prints of their collaborative drawings.
