Nightmare On Harbour Drive: Linocut Workshop

Explore the playful and eerie side of printmaking in this collaborative workshop. Participants will create strange, hybrid creatures through a reimagined version of the classic art game, Exquisite Corpse. Each person carves a small linoleum or woodblock section of a creature (head, torso, or legs/feet), guided by registration templates to ensure alignment. Once printed, these sections come together to form a collaborative “monster quilt” on paper — revealing unpredictable, spooky, and myth-inspired creatures. Prompts from Celtic and Nisga’a folklore encourage participants to imagine sea-dwellers, tricksters, and ghostly spirits, while learning the basics of carving and relief printing.
