The story was inspired a little by me buying some grow-lamps to care for my own growing collection of houseplants over winter, when the days are terribly short here in London. I felt really awkward ordering grow-lamps off the internet &#8211; like I was the only person using them for their legitimately stated purpose!<\/p>\n<p>The Riso workshop was brilliant &#8211; I found it fascinating, like a crazy halfway house between screenprinting and olschool photocopying, but with wicked colours. Here are a few images from the process, and my daily drawing featuring my instructor <a href=\"https:\/\/rachel-davey.co.uk\">Rachel Davey<\/a> wrangling the machine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7194.jpg\" alt=\"Riso machine drum\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7194.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7194-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7194-570x428.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7194-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7194-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7199.jpg\" alt=\"Gnarly book stapler\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7199.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7199-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7199-570x428.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7199-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7199-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/risospit.gif\" alt=\"Riso prints coming out of the machine\" width=\"100%\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3704\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_8058.jpg\" alt=\"Daily drawing of maching wrangling\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_8058.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_8058-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_8058-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_8058-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_8058-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_8058-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7197.jpg\" alt=\"Cropping my finished pages\"class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7197.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7197-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7197-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7197-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_7197-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like a copy of Grow Lamp, I&#8217;m happy to send one to you for a modest fee: they are <a href=\"http:\/\/trickartt.com\/shop\/\">\u00a315 including worldwide delivery on my tiny webshop!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A year ago, I did a Risograph-printing workshop with Hato Press that resulted in a miniature story book called &#8216;Grow Lamp&#8217; &#8211; it&#8217;s a simple little eight-page wordless story about a robot who learns to care for its houseplant.
