Introduction to Letterpress: Exquisite Corpse Method
Learn letterpress using the classic Surrealist 'exquisite corpse' technique: each class member sets their own line of poetry in moveable type and the lines are pieced together to form a collaborative poem. Each line is selected at random from the Norton Anthology or composed on the spot. A great way to learn the basics of letterpress, and participants take home a "broadside" print of the poem you helped to create.
Cost: $25 for non-members, $15 for members
