Instructor | Angelique Bulosan
“I’m a Filipino-Canadian, self-taught, multi-media artist. I was born and raised in Victoria, BC, Canada, traditional Lekwungen Territory, where I make small batches of art in my home studio. My art reflects the personal touchstones in my life as well as dreams during sleep and meditation. It’s also inspired by my practice of mindfulness, reading art comix, and being in nature.”

Course Description | Starting Out in Linocut: Greeting Cards
Carve out time to nurture your inner artist.
In this beginner linocut workshop, you will learn about different mediums and materials, design and carve lino, and then print your design onto blank greeting cards. Angelique, your instructor, will show you some of her favourite linocut artists and discuss different applications for your linocut.
You don’t need to be an expert at drawing! Templates will be available. So no worries if you haven't drawn much besides a stick figure!
