CREATIVE
CHALLENGE CLUB


SUN, NOVERMBER 16TH, 1PM


This is not your typical print class.
Each session = a creative challenge.

You’ll draw random prompts, techniques, and styles — then make two prints using RISO inks and a mix of media.

It’s messy, it’s fun, it’s where breakthroughs happen. 💡

We will be making 2+ prints every meetup using a series of constraints to spark creativity. Parameters to help inform our constraints will be random number generators, the knight's tour, astrology, and tarot.

Bring any additional mediums, pens, pencils, ect you'd like to use for your personal use.

$40

DRUM CLEANING

THU NOVEMBER 20TH, 7pm



Got a RISO drum that’s out of commission? Dried-up ink? Too much ink? Just plain sad? It might be time for a check-up...

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to clean, inspect, and troubleshoot your RISO drum from top to bottom. Bring your own drum (or borrow one of ours to practice on 💙).

🧽 Perfect for the following RISO models:
RZ, EZ, SF, SE, MZ, MH, ME, MF

Whether you’re a die-hard DIYer or just want to understand the anatomy of your gear — this class will set you up with the knowledge and confidence to handle your drum like a pro.

What you’ll learn:

🔍 How to clean and inspect your drum
🔧 Troubleshooting tips to fix common issues
🎓 The full anatomy of your RISO drum — so you’re not left guessing next time

This class will be available in person in our Portland studio, as well as online via zoom. Recordings will be provided for those who register online or cannot attend the live zoom.
