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...

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

CREATIVE
CHALLENGE CLUB

SUN, NOVEMBER 30TH, 11AM

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.

Sliding Scale- $20-40 suggested
