Artist Steven Paige is currently resident artist at Double Elephant, tasked with responding to the Leonard Baskin & Ted Hughes archive based at University of Exeter. Not a regularly practicing printmaker, his approach to the residency is a much conceptual as materials based. 

For the workshop on 31 October,  Steven will present aspects of the archive that he has found intriguing – namely how Baskin worked and corresponded with Hughes, how text/writing works with the image, including the notion of the press or publishing of works, and, as it is auspiciously Hallowe'en, how a healthy approach to mortality gave rise to a rich field to explore.  For the workshop these ideas will be explored further within a defined framework to encourage fresh approaches to making work. 

10-1pm / £6 DE Members and Friends / £12 non-members (8 places)
