You'll use collage and drawing materials on a template to draft a one or two-color one-inch button. Then, you'll print your composition using the scanner bed of our beloved Risograph machine, Theresa! Finally, you'll use a button-maker to put it all together. Working on a small, circular scale allows you to engage with composition in a new way, and brings attention to details of opacity, texture, and color layering. Make a wearable piece of art or propaganda while learning the basics of Riso!Please note: Masking is now encouraged, but optional in the studio space.
