Print & Stitch workshop: Riso print & embroidery class in Amsterdam with exclusive hand dyed floss

Have you ever tho­ug­ht abo­ut com­bi­ning riso print with embro­idery? Are you ready to explo­re dif­fe­rent types of media and mix them with one another?

This FULL DAY wor­k­shop will be so much fun! Riso Pop and Stu­dio Koeko­ek have joined cre­ati­ve for­ces, offe­ring a spe­ci­al pro­gram. You will get the best of both wor­l­ds: a tas­te of the Riso prin­ting tec­h­nique as well as embro­idery skil­ls. During the day you will be enco­ura­ged to draw ins­pi­ra­ti­on from one design and use it as a star­ting point for the other.

This col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with our part­ner Riso Print is a won­der­ful oppor­tu­nity to expand your skill set whi­le enjoying the unique envi­ron­ment of both stu­di­os in Ams­ter­dam. This wor­k­shop is for everyo­ne who would like to step out of the­ir com­fort zone, expe­ri­ment and try thin­gs out wit­ho­ut pressure.

We’ve got you cove­red with all the mate­ri­als, plus some deli­ci­ous drin­ks and snac­ks. All you need to do is bring your ent­hu­si­asm and love for nature!

Cher­ry on the pie: Loret Kar­man from the Ams­ter­dam­se Ste­ek and her team dyed exclu­si­ve floss that we’ll also use during our workshop.

Riso print & embroidery workshop day overview

Morning at Riso Pop 10:00 – 13:00

The day starts at the Riso Pop stu­dio, whe­re we will have a nice col­lec­ti­on of bota­ni­cal ins­pi­ra­ti­on ready for you! We will use small drawing exer­ci­ses to help you come up with a design. You will also get an exten­si­ve intro­duc­ti­on to the riso­graph prin­ter, get­ting fami­li­ar with the tec­h­nique befo­re you start wor­king on your design. At the end of the mor­ning, you will have your very own col­lec­ti­on of bota­ni­cal riso prints that you can sha­re with fri­en­ds and family!

13:00 – 14:00

Chan­ge of stu­di­os! On the way to Stu­dio Koeko­ek, you will have time to stop for lun­ch (not included).

Afternoon at Studio Koekoek 14:00 – 17:00

The after­no­on sessi­on con­ti­nu­es at Stu­dio Koeko­ek. Here, you will be tran­sfor­ming your print (or one from your fel­low par­ti­ci­pants) into an embro­idery design. You will learn which fac­tors to con­si­der when wor­king with texti­les. Feel free to eit­her clo­sely repli­ca­te your riso design or take ins­pi­ra­ti­on from its colo­urs and sha­pes to cre­ate a com­ple­tely dif­fe­rent embro­idery piece. We help you select the most suita­ble stit­ch and thre­ad colo­urs. After that, you’ll have time to start your embro­idery project.

At the end of this day, you will take home: a set of 10 riso prints with your design and an embro­idery piece to finish at home.
