Risograph Printing Workshop with K3

Our class 3 students were excited to welcome our special guest to the art room this week. We were lucky to get the opportunity to work with professional artist, photographer and curator Lien Pham from WeDoGood, a specialist risograph printing studio based here in Saigon. 
Risograph printing is a technique best described as ‘digital screen printing’. The process is similar to screen printing, but with the convenience of an office copier. It’s known for its vivid colours (that other printers can’t produce) and its specific textures.
The students had plenty of questions about how the printing process worked and what they could make using this technique. Lien brought a wide range of examples of beautiful artworks WeDoGood have produced, from books to art posters to inspire the children.
She then invited them to collaborate with her to create a special design for our upcoming anniversary celebrations. The students were asked to draw some of their favourite memories from their time at IGS. These drawings were then scanned and will be turned into beautiful colourful postcards for them to share at our Vernissage event on Saturday 24th June. We can’t wait to share what we have made with you!
If you are interested in learning more about risograph printing or would like to commission your own print designs you can follow their work online. Lien and the team host regular public workshops for anyone interested in working in this medium and they have a wide range of art from local artists available.
