Join the CoDesign Collaborative community in Portland on Wednesday, April 8, from 11:30 am–12:30 pm PT for a Field Trip to Outlet PDX.

Outlet PDX is a vibrant experimental space that connects the digital to the physical through the art of Risograph printing, zine-making, and self-publishing. Located in Portland’s Kerns neighborhood, Outlet PDX provides access to specialized Risograph duplication equipment, a comprehensive zine library, button-making machines, and a suite of binding and finishing tools to accommodate projects ranging from small-scale stickers to full-edition books. Whether through their remote printing services or their brick-and-mortar retail shop, Outlet fosters a collaborative environment for realizing “print dreams” and acts as a hub for the Portland creative community.

This Field Trip is inspired by the forthcoming edition of the Unfold, Designing for Dissent, our first multimedia publication and related events, to explore how design practice is a revolutionary force.
