Extracurricular Activites
In 950 S. Raymond Ave:
Archetype Press
Open throughout the fair, Archetype Press invites visitors to experience one of the country’s largest educational letterpress studios. Stop by to explore the space, learn about letterpress printing, and create a print to take home.
In 870 S. Raymond Ave:
Riso Dessert Buffet
Participants will collectively create a “buffet table” of shapes, textures, and line work from scraps and tools in the studio. Using a wide variety of available risograph colors, participants will then create a 2-color print with these ready-mades in an edition size of up to fifteen prints. Real desserts will also be served. Taking place in the Maker’s Lab, presented by ArtCenter.
Bookbinding: One Person’s Scraps, Another’s Treasure
The accuracy rate for printing on a risograph is about seventy-five percent, which results in a lot of scrap materials for creative repurposing. In this workshop, participants can use these scraps to make sketchbooks, notebooks, and note pads of various sizes, using a perfect binder, coil binder, or fast binding glue. If time permits, participants can make multiple notebooks. Publications by students and faculty will also be on display for inspiration. Taking place in the Maker’s Lab, presented by ArtCenter.
