    About Lucky Risograph

    Lucky Risograph is a POC-owned print, design studio, and publisher based in DUMBO, NY. Primarily working through the medium of risograph printing, we create a wide variety of printed matter ranging from postcards to art books. Since our establishment in 2018, we have continued to incorporate risograph’s eco-conscious and affordable nature into our everyday practice, working with diverse artist communities. In addition, we also offer in-person and virtual workshops, DIY lessons, and open studio hours.
