About the RisoLAB:

The SVA RisoLAB was founded in 2015 by the MFA Visual Narrative chair Nathan Fox (MFA 2002 Illustration as Visual Essay) and artist and printmaker Panayiotis Terzis (MFA 2015 Fine Arts; BFA 2006 Illustration) as the first dedicated educational Risograph space in NYC. Since then, the Lab has become a leading and influential space for Risograph-based independent publishing and experimental print production for artists from all creative disciplines. The lab offers a range of undergraduate and graduate as well as continuing education course offerings that are open to the public as well as an Artist in Residence program.
