A two week self-publishing festival of learning, riso-printing, design, illustration and book making.
Many Hands Make brings together artists, designers and publishers to share methods and insights into artistic design and print practices. Come learn new skills in print & digital design, illustration and print-production during hands-on artist-led workshops. Apply that knowledge during an open access week at the Colorama studio, where you can produce a print or publication project with our guidance!
Learn new skills, meet like-minded artists and make your art in a space that offers the freedom to experiment and the structure to finish.
