Do you love printing, drawing, paper and all things Risography?
Then the Riso Club is for you!
What is the ‘Riso Club’?
The Riso Club is a monthly printing gathering hosted by the Service Bureau.
Have you attended one of the Service Bureau’s workshops and you’d like to print more? Maybe you want to experiment and try things out without the pressure of submitting an order.
Our goal is to create a small community of Service Bureau friends who would like to come to print and play on our Riso printer.
The Riso Club was started after realising that members of our community did not have the opportunity to print on their own and that many wanted to continue their exploration of the riso machine in the same relaxed atmosphere as the our workshops.
The Service Bureau’s Riso Club is meant to be an open space to experiment, have fun, meet other like-minded people and continue developing your riso printing skills.
Calendar of Events:
Thursday, April, 28th 5-9pm – Exquisite Corpse Zine Event
We know this is another Thursday evening but we have limited scheduling for the large classroom and staff availability this semester. We plan to do activities on other days and times in the future. Stay tuned!
Information about file submission guidelines and a link to the Google Form can be found here.

We will also have our new Riso Club Membership Cards available on the Riso Club wall. Fill it out, place it in the pick up box and we will laminate it for you and place it in the Pick Up Cabinet for you. We will shoot you an email when it is ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find out about the monthly events + happenings?
We have created a form for you to fill out to have our Riso Club Newsletter emailed directly to you each month! We will be blasting out info about what we are up to, how you can get involved and any in person Riso events we will be hosting each month.
My student group or club is interested in hosting a Riso Event?
Yes! We would love to work with you. Please email Jennifer Keats the Service Bureau Manager and she will get back to you about your event, dates and times that can work and what you are looking to accomplish. { Jennifer Ketas – jkeats@saic.edu }
Can I visit the Service Bureau and see the Riso in action?
Unfortunately, our Riso sits right in the middle of our production space. Due to space limitations and production times it is hard to have people stop in to see the machine during our normal production times.
With that said, we will be running Riso workshops this semester that will allow the community to see how the Riso works and our Riso Club will be hosting events outside the Service Bureau in a space that can accommodate larger groups and allow users to interact with the machine.
