About This Workshop

In this 1.5-hour workshop, we will collectively explore personal planners/notebooks as a tool for self-expression in a world of technology. Participants will create their own undated planners by designing a cover, printing the cover on the risograph, assembling the pages, and binding the planner!

By experimenting with the intersection of analog and mechanical image making, participants will also get a primer on how to print on the risograph. This workshop is beginner-friendly and open to all ages. No previous experience is necessary.
