Workshops are the beating heart of PageMasters!
Every Thursday and every other Saturday we open our studio doors for Drop in Day one-on-one workshops to run through the whole process of getting from a jpeg to a multi-coloured edition of Riso prints within an hour.
We host Beginners Group Risograph Workshops two evenings every month for up to eight people at a time.
Every Tuesday is dedicated to Embroidery Sampling Workshops with our ThreadMaidens team - a unique chance to test your embroidery designs onto your own garments.
Over the years we have facilitated hundreds of workshops both in our studio or bespoke workshops across London in stores, galleries, schools - you name it, we'll do it!

Drop-in Day
Drop-in Day is an accessible initiative from PageMasters for you to learn more about Risograph printing in pre-booked one hour time slots every Thursday and every other Saturday from our Lewisham HQ.
Each hour long printing session, we will work together and show you the steps taken to produce your bespoke A3 Risograph prints; from pre-press colour separations to making the masters and printing. All you need is an image or design, no prior Riso experience is required at all.
These workshops are intended for single sided simple printing, such as posters, art prints and flyers; due to the time limitation, these are not intended for any publication printing.
Beginners Group Risograph Workshop
If you've only just found hear the word "Riso" and wonder what it's all about (including how it's pronounced), join us for a Beginners Group Risograph Workshop where we will demystify this for you! now taking place on the evening of each final Thursday of the month at our Lewisham Studio!
During this workshop, we will let you loose with a diverse range of mark making tools to create two physical artworks that will be scanned and turned into an edition of 10 two-colour A3 prints.
No experience needed, no Photoshop needed either - this is direct DIY printing at it's most fun.
Embroidery Sampling Workshop
The Embroidery Sampling Workshop is a one-on-one session to sample a simple embroidery onto your own garments within an hour session with the ThreadMaidens team. We ask for the embroidery artwork 48 hours aead of the session so that we can digitise it and have a sample ready for you to see on arrival. We will run as many multiples as we can within the hour on a selection of threads.
This unique workshop is perfect for one-offs, small editions or testing and tweaking a design before sending it to an industrial embroidery service.
Bespoke Workshops
Bespoke workshops can be whatever you want them to be! We can accommodate up to 15 people in our Lewisham studio or we can come to you and do more. These are perfect for groups of friends, work teams, or even families who want to work together.
These could take the form of a beginners-group-style workshop where you'd each leave with 2 colour prints or could focus on something more specific like a group zine or protest poster-making.
