Shapes of the Year: Riso Calendar & Geometric Editions

Design file in colour

My plan was to print out turquoise and purple. When I got to the Riso printer and tested out the turquoise, it looked was darker than expected. I decided to change to the green colour since it was a bit brighter. I also want to practice a bit with transparencies. Not getting the layered affect I'm expecting to see like when I have 2 overlapping shapes in the design file.

Calendar prints

Testing out shapes and multiplying colour swatches.

I did my first prints as part of a Riso printing class at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop.

A ceramic addition to the project

My first composition ended up being something I wanted to use as a design to Sgraffito onto a small vase. The character will be white once fired.
