In this workshop, we will make hand cut patterns based on individual and collective contributions of all participants. Here, the sum of the parts is greater than one individual. Based on the idea of the Exquisite Corpse, each person will create a drawing or pattern. These patterns are linked together by collaborating with your adjacent neighbors in a method of adjoining your work through drawing and discussion. Once merged and joined, the participants will decide on what will be positive and negative space in their artwork. From there, everyone will work to create an integrated cut pattern and collaborative work.
