Join artist, illustrator and calligrapher, Ibraheem Khamayseh for a workshop using Arabic scripts with the Tashkeel RISO ME-9350E; a machine that uses eco-friendly, soybean oil-based ink for high-speed, high-volume artwork duplication; popular among illustrators, photographers and artists around the world for its low cost, multiple options and features.
The three-hour session begins with Ibraheem explaining about different Arabic scripts; their origins and styles. Focusing specifically on the Kufic Square script, participants will choose a selection of letters and experiment with proportion and scale, learning to connect these letters to create beautiful forms, volumes and variations. These then become the subjects for experimenting with the Risograph, turning a calligraphic artwork into a two-colour print. Participants will learn how to prepare the Risograph and how colours are layered. You will develop your calligraphic image by observing the colours and textures of the outside and inside of a letter, arranging a visual composition to allow experimentation with colour, line, and value.
By the end of the workshop, participants will not only have a finished artwork but also a detailed understanding of the Risograph artwork production; able to integrate this process into their own art practice moving forward.
*Suitable for graphic designers, artists and illustrators of all levels, aged 15 years and above.
*This session shall be preceded by an introduction to Make Works UAE by Tashkeel, the online directory of manufacturers, fabricators and suppliers for the art and design community. Make Works UAE is supported by Dubai Culture.
