to RISO OR NOT 2024 at make eindhoven

From 7–18 October, Make Eindhoven and Wobby.club hosted the sixth edition of the project ‘To Riso or Not’. Six young illustrators and artists spent two weeks working intensively in the graphic workshop at Make, exploring techniques such as dry needle, silkscreen, and risoprint.

The selected artists for this edition are:
Ellie Mc Guinness, Fanja Bouts, Hannah van der Weide, Khattar Shaheen, Koos de Vries, and Shanna Huijbregts.

The group was challenged to experiment with the fast risoprinter and other available print techniques at Make Eindhoven. The synergy created by exploring different techniques and materials in various combinations provided a ‘pressure cooker’ environment for the artists to discover new aspects of their work, exchange knowledge, and further develop their talents. This residency was guided by Dutch artist Kim David Bots, the mentor of this edition.

During Dutch Design Week, the results of To Riso or Not were presented at Make Eindhoven.
