Create a broadside of your poetry.
A broadside is an art print with text and drawings. Participants will receive printmaking paper, stencils, stamps, and a surprise material based on the venue or setting to create a broadside. Generative writing exercises will be interwoven with examples of historically-revered posters, visual art pieces, and literary works printed by letterpresses. The broadside continues to transform over time while telling our stories as a form of literary artifact. This workshop offers the opportunity to write poems, or literary works, and receive editorial feedback. Participants will receive printmaking paper and stamps to create their own broadside.
