The Rizzera, as you may know, is an independent printmaking collective in Sydney, Australia. We run a Risograph RP3700 stencil press and make it available for use in our open print studios sessions.

We aim to keep use of the machine affordable and accessible. Open print sessions are run by volunteers and print charges cover the machine running costs.

The machine prints 1 colour at a time, much like screen printing, and a different ink drum is needed for each colour. Although they are a one-off cost, the ink drums are the most expensive part of the machine. We currently have 9 ink colours on offer: yellow, orange, bright pink, red, purple, blue, green, black and brown. Through this crowdfunding campaign, we'd love to raise the funds to buy gold and silver, so that we can all make the most amazing prints!



This squirrel is what happens on the machine's screen while the machine makes a new stencil, and I like to think of the squirrel chewing the stencils. It is a very special and hardworking squirrel. Please, think of the squirrel and help the Rizzeria!

$500 per drum including shipping.

We need to source the drums second-hand, but have a devoted team of Rza members scouring the internet for the perfect drums!
