In this Risograph (RISO) workshop, you will be able to make two types of cards: Christmas cards and Nengajo New Year cards. You can make one of each, or two of either.
In addition to the usable implements and collage materials to be supplied by Fan Fan, you are free to bring in your own implements and materials and spend time making whatever you want.

In addition to working on day-to-day matters related to his university course, Aoki will be presenting Fan Fan research exploring the connections between community welfare and art, in the form of a “study room.” Please stop by to enjoy getting your head down for some study or sharing a leisurely exchange of opinion on welfare and art.
