Riso Revolution: How One Designer's Love of a Japanese Printer Built a Global Creative Community

There are tools, and then there are tools that rewire your creative brain. For Gabriella Marcella, the risograph printer was the latter. "The process, the immediacy – it resonated," says the Scottish-Italian designer. "A lot of my aesthetic comes from that machine." That click of recognition, it turns out, is something artists across the world have been feeling for decades — and Marcella has now channelled that shared devotion into Riso Club, a landmark exhibition at Glasgow's Glue Factory Galleries.
