Exquisite Corpse Printmaking Workshop

Exquisite Corpse Printmaking Workshop!

Join us at Pinecone Studio for a fun and creative event where you can unleash your artistic side. In this workshop, you will use relief printmaking techniques to construct and play at large game of exquisite corpse. Each participant will learn to carve their own set of head, torso, and legs to build a complete character out of stamps. Participants will then take turns printing a segment of their character in sequence with each other on a trifolded piece of paper without being able to see what the previous person printed. What will emerge???

Guided by James Sylvester

James Sylvester is a Maine-based printmaker whose passion for drawing, carving, and collaboration fuels his multi-disciplinary art practice. He graduated from Maine College of Art & Design with a BFA with honors in printmaking in 2018 and is a member of Peregrine Press, Maine’s oldest nonprofit printmaking cooperative, where he produces his own fine art relief print editions, explores creative monoprinting techniques, and currently serves as President. His practice often bleeds into his surrounding creative community, whether that is through participating in the Portland, Maine’s yearly steamroller printing event and print crawl, organizing the artisan market series Art in the Garden at Bissell Brothers, or running collaborative printmaking workshops across southern Maine at such locations as the Portland Museum of Art, Hinge Collaborative, and Congress Square Park. His work has been shown at Cove Streets Arts, George Marshall Store Gallery, The ICA at MECA&D, Ocean House Gallery, CURRENTS New Media Festival, 82 Parris and more.
