Find the maker at these markets
Fluoro is the one-woman risograph press and studio of Steph Ford on Main Street in Mount Pleasant. A risograph is a stencil duplicator that prints one bright colour at a time. Ford embraces the imperfections the machine throws up and prints in the brightest inks she can find.
Several workshops run each month. The shortest takes about 90 minutes and costs $35 per person, and you walk away with 20 copies of a 2-colour postcard you designed. Longer classes print posters or an 8-page zine. Got Craft lists Fluoro Press for the second weekend of its 2026 Holiday Market.
Worth knowing
- Book a workshop ahead, since the studio opens only by appointment.
- Bring a sketch or two, because every workshop starts with your own artwork.
