This is a really neat way to create prints with designs cut from pieces of lino block. Students will draw, cut out and print their own designs with regular block printing ink, and acrylic for advanced artists. The fun never stops, and you may get out of the course without cutting your fingers with my fancy lino block holder (which you get to take home!). This is a fun medium to experiment with, and you can do it at home too! You will make cool cards with your prints Your best print will be mounted, to remind you of the artist that lies within you. Students must be at least 9 years old.

Who is Derek Wulff Anyway?
I am a BC certified teacher who has been teaching grades K to 6 for the past 13 years. I have taught a wide variety of subjects, but find myself most drawn to science and art. I have been a lifelong artist and athlete, father and coach, gardener, author and environmentalist, and have set up a studio/classroom at my home to teach and practice my crafts. I have been doing ceramics for 12 years, teaching art in my classes and loving the rich learning experiences of hands-on science.
I love teaching and want to share my enthusiasm with children who want to learn new things and make sense of their world around them (to the extent that any of us can!).
My courses are practical, and hands-on. Students make and test their creations, and get to take them home. I make sure they make the link between what they are doing and how it applies in the grownup world.
The courses I teach are fun and challenging, with an individual approach, the way learning should be!
