Printing technique:
Risography is a unique printing technique that combines elements of screen printing (serigraphy) and photocopying. It was originally developed in Japan in the 1980s as a cost-effective method for producing high-volume prints, but it has since gained popularity in the art and design world for its distinctive aesthetic. Indeed, this technique is widely used for creating zines, posters, art prints, and limited edition books, offering a distinctive, textured aesthetic that stands out from standard digital printing.

The artist:
Wolkje is an ceramic artist and illustrator from Taiwan, Taipei. Now she is living in Portugal, Lisbon for the past 6 years. For her, drawing is like talking; it’s her way of keeping a diary, a very personal and private language. Ceramics, on the other hand, is a different language. She uses it to send messages, to communicate. It’s less about her personal experience and more about sharing with others. When she creates ceramic pieces, she often starts with a big idea, usually centered around love and emotional needs. Through her work, she aims to offer people an escape from reality—a place where, after a tiring day, they can rest on fluffy beds, soft grass, or warm sand. It’s a space where imagination can run wild without limits, and where everyone feels understood, like receiving a warm, gentle hug. She believes this is something everyone needs and deserves, and that’s the essence behind all her ceramic pieces.
