RISO Printing Workshops with Through The Roof

In the scope of wanting to create a community for young creatives, we were exploring ways and means to lower the cost of production for students. If there was a way for us to produce a larger quantity, but with lower cost, it would give way for more creativity! With aim and focus in mind,…
At Singapore Art Book Fair 2024

Singapore Art Book Fair was a location we had dreamed of boothing at one day. After all, we’ve only been doing collab zines for about a year or two at most. Initially, we were rejected after applying. But by some divine means, we received an email saying that someone had dropped out, and we could…

KL Art Book Fair 2023

The KL Art Book Fair has been going on for some time, but this was the first time we’d had visited intentionally.

How to Start your Art – Talk with Poly Parcel

The basis of why we wanted to start Through The Roof was because of the ambiguity of the creative process. It’s something we struggle with, and personally for me, design was an easier way out of it.
