Heres Stephanie with a two colour print on newspaper for her LoVe/HatE design course project.
Bettina Kaiser with some trial postcards, testing the parameters before a s/n zine.(Bettinas about to have a baby ANY DAY NOW!)
Some more of Marias 3 colour “flashcards” for an alphabet card project for uni! Making an A=z of hairremoval!!!!
All these are done by practically first time rizza users, taking advantage of the ability to use unusal paper types and sizes, and the super fine detailing of the prints/ >Not to mention the absurdly low costs!!!

11 teenagers took part in this 3 day workshop, designing, laying out and then printing a 2 colour A6 zine each on the rza, and experimenting with gocco printing and stamping.

Another busy (WINDY) Saturday at the Rizzeria leading up to TINA. Here’s Monique with one of her series of 2 colour artists prints (there’s a set of 5 images – buy them from her at the TINA zine fair). We had the doors shut all day to keep the wind out and the paper safe inside.
