WALK-IN AND RISO
The risograph printer is a high-volume Japanese printer initially released in the 1980's. Now, it is used by both artists and commercial businesses for its affordability and unique textures and colours. Utilising organic soybean oil-based inks in a range of fluorescent colours, Riso prints have a distinctive perfectly-imperfect ‘aesthetic’.
Join us for a walk-in print session exploring the possibilities of Risograph printing at Tashkeel Makerspace, home to the only two-colour RISO machine in the UAE.

SURREALIST GAMES
What is Surrealism? How do you create artwork with unexpected outcomes? This workshop is a fun opportunity for families to discover together the wonderful world of Surrealism (practiced by artists like Salvador Dalì and Frida Kahlo) using the creative games invented and used during the early 20th century. Participants will be introduced to the complex concepts of chance, immediate responses and magical imagination to produce artwork that explores a different side of their creativity as they bond as a family group.
11 August
TRADITIONS AND SUSTAINABILITY
Explore the intersection of creativity, sustainability, and local traditions in our innovative workshop! Participants will be encouraged to recycle, experiment, and create using a variety of materials, weaving in elements of Emirati tradition as inspiration. Through doodling, collaging, stitching, drawing, and painting, the young participants will craft mixed media pieces reflecting their unique stories and experiences in the UAE, bridging the past, present, and future.
