Styrofoam printing & Introduction to the Riso
Campers will be introduced to the art of printmaking by using styrofoam to make relief prints in the form of personalized thank-you cards. They will then use these prints to make 2-color prints on our digital risograph machine.

Collage Portraits & Typography
Campers will use mark making and collaging techniques to make either a self or partner portrait. During the second half of the day, the campers will explore typography to make art out of their name. Eventually they will combine the portrait and text together to create a multi-color risograph print.
