Collage is a form that depends upon rupture and reimagining—cutting and layering text in order to question the limits of how our realities are represented. Riso also operates using layers, reproducing content in ways that ask us to bend our sense of what a “copy” should do. In this 5-hour workshop, we will bring these two modes together, experimenting with collage technique to create erasure and found poems for the riso that will frustrate, surprise, corrupt, and delight. The workshop involves both collaborative and independent work that will emphasize slow wonder and experimentation. Participants will leave with an original print; a chapbook collecting the work we completed; and new insights into poetry, collage, and riso-printing. All experience levels welcome.
We have a sliding scale structure ($100 - $160) and encourage you to pay what you can. To use our sliding scale fee, enter one of the following codes at check out:
