Riso Walk-in
Saturday 6th

Get a one-time 15 € introduction to the RZ-300 EP Riso printer,
or come back and work independently next time with your nooo-riso certification card.
Bring a printed design, found image collage, or drawing to print on our RZ-300 EP.
After your first session, you can return anytime on a pay-what-you-print basis.
For laptop-based designs, you can use our inkjet printer to make A4 printouts (paid at base price).
The RZ-300 EP is a second-hand, somewhat capricious model — not ideal for precision work,
but perfect for learning riso and experimenting with DIY projects. It prints only A4 via
its built-in scanner, with inks in Medium Blue, Burgundy, and Black.
First come, first served! When we reach capacity, we may not be able to welcome more participants.
We hope to see you there — drop by with questions or to prepare for the next ‘Riso Walk-In’!
Walk-in, 15€ pay on the spot or pay-what-you-print.
This program is sucrafty approach, Sara’s work forefronts the exchange amongst makers over the machinery of finalising set results.

Spells 4 Utopia: Trading Card Workshop with
Laura Lavender
✏ Tuesday 16th
1 PM - 4 PM
An anarchist trading card game where we map out how our needs, dreams, and visions could come to life collectively. We will create the cards ourselves and play the game with them. Afterwards you’ll get to take your cards home with you – or trade for someone else's. May your utopian spells be cast far and wide!
We will start out by individually mapping out each of our visions for a utopian world. The different components that make it up will be the starting point for the first trading cards you’ll make.
For the second round we will be making trading cards that enable or come after someone else’s utopian fragments.
After this round we’ll play the trading card game by linking together different cards and creating new narratives collectively.
The only way to utopia is together
RSVP on eventbrite: €16,12 (incl. VAT) per participant.

Closing Special: InCollaborationWith (ICW) x Amsterdam Warehouse
✏ Saturday 20th
3:30 PM - 8 PM
For this very special workshop we are finally collaborating with ICW collective and our dear neighbors - Amsterdam Warehouse (at Sint Jansstraat 51).
Join us for a drawing game of dress up where we will draw garments for characters and characters for the garments.
In Amsterdam Warehouse there will be the 'garments' station and at NOOO the 'characters' station. All drawings/collages will be commuting between the two spaces to be continued by the other station. We will not only use pencils and pens but also play with funky tape, paper cut outs, glue, stamps, stickers and more !
Between 3:30PM and 5:30PM you can come in at any time and join your drawing station of choice or walk around and join both :)
From 6PM we will open a little show displaying all the drawings made during the day.
Warehouse is an Amsterdam-based fashion platform that aims to create space for expanded fashion practices; those that are research-based, interdisciplinary and critically question the commercial fashion industry. It is currently run by artists/designers Anouk Beckers, Elisa van Joolen, Élise Ory, Mika Perlmutter and Femke de Vries.
ICW (InCollaborationWith) is a community-based project and organization founded by Dasha Leo and June Ohashi that gathers various artists to play ‘exquisite corpse’ and other collaborative drawing games. Throughout these sessions, all participants bring their personal/current interests into the shaping of new characters, landscapes and narratives.
On donation.
