Illustrative Linocut Collage

with Laura Peturson

Offered in conjunction with the exhibition, Keeping Time, Laura Peturson demonstrates the illustrative printmaking techniques she uses in her artwork.

Using soft, easy-cut blocks, coloured paper and inks, participants in this workshop will create layered artworks with a graphic, illustrative aesthetic. Participants will learn various carving strategies for relief block printing, along with compositional strategies for combining shape-based elements with more detailed prints and papercuts. All materials provided.

This workshop is offered in conjunction with Laura Peturson and Andrew Ackerman's collaborative exhibition, Keeping Time on view at the Queen's Square Gallery from March 15 - May 31, 2025.

About the Instructor: Laura Peturson is an artist based in Callander, Ontario, Canada. She holds a BFA from York University in Toronto and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art in New York. Laura’s studio practice integrates drawing, painting, small-scale traditional printmaking formats and large-scale, print-based installations. Her works are narrative in nature, with references to the archetypes and stylistic conventions of golden age illustration. Her work reflects the ways the domestic spaces we inhabit as children form our identity and a conception of our place in relation to family, geography, and nature. Her home of Northern Ontario is central to her work, and her interests include ecological systems, representations of landscapes, and the relationship between environment and culture. Laura’s work has been exhibited widely in Canada, USA, and internationally. Recent presentations of her work include solo exhibitions at Alberta Printmakers Gallery (Calgary, AB), Galerie Atelier Circularie (Montréal, QC), and Station Gallery (Whitby, ON). Laura is an Associate Professor in the Fine Arts program at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario.
