A Walk on the Dark Side: Gothic Erasure with Kristine Esser Slentz

Want to take a walk on the dark side? Let Gothic classics and erasure take you there!  From The Phantom of the Opera, to The Picture of Dorian Gray, to Frankenstein, Gothic fiction has captured our deepest fears and twisted our imaginations with the strange and unusual. In this two-session class, we will explore erasure techniques and apply them to popular Gothic tales to create our own stories or poems.

WORKSHOP DATES: Mondays, Oct 30 & Nov 6, 6:30-8:30pm CST, via Zoom

COST: Nonmember: $135; Member: $115; Student/Vet/Mil $75
