Create a fun, strange book filled with exquisite corpse inspired sentences. Exquisite corpse games originated 100 years ago, with players co-creating in writing or art without seeing the words or images other players created first. We’ll begin by responding to a series of prompts in writing, and then randomly selecting adjectives, nouns, and verbs from the responses to form exquisite corpse sentences. The fun doesn’t end there–we’ll learn to make a five panel accordion fold book, fill it with the exquisite corpse sentences and then mix and match them within the book. 

Writing instruction from Beverly Army Williams and binding instruction from Lisa Hersey.

Class is on Thursday January 23rd, 6pm-8pm.
