In this session, we’ll all work together to make an ‘Exquisite Corpse’ print using the drypoint printmaking medium. An Exquisite Corpse is “A game in which each participant takes turns writing or drawing on a sheet of paper, folding it to conceal his or her contribution, and then passing it to the next player for a further contribution. The game gained popularity in artistic circles during the 1920s when it was adopted as a technique by artists of the Surrealist movement to generate collaborative compositions.” We'll be doing this but with a printmaking twist!
A sliding scale/pay what you can option is available for this workshop. Please email for more info.
All materials provided! No prior experience required.
You can see some examples of Exquisite Corpse and read some of the history of the game here
