Students from Arts University Plymouth and University of Plymouth used 16th century woodcuts and examples of Early Modern pamphlets as visual inspiration to respond to the story and lamentations of Eulalia Page.
Illustrator and workshop leader Laura Hole wanted the students to feel connected to the story, whether through the location of the murder or the lovers destined to die for their crimes. They didn’t disappoint. Each took something different from the story; some of them focused on the attempted poisonings, some focused on the aspect of the Devil from Eulalia’s lamentations. Others explored the symbolism of the raven, the bear and the handkerchief.
Many of the illustrations created in these sessions were included in the new pamphlet designed by Kiss & Bite Press, alongside new writing also inspired by Eulalia’s tale.
