Inuit Art Cape Dorset Holiday Card Assortment

The formation of Kinngait Studios in the late 1950s laid the groundwork for a legendary printmaking tradition. About 1,200 miles north of Toronto, the hamlet of Cape Dorset, Nunavut, is home to a multigenerational community of gifted graphic artists. Their cooperatively owned printmaking studios have been in continual operation since 1959, producing unique, captivating, and powerful images.

The artists of Cape Dorset are active in the studios from fall through late spring. Diverse media are available to the printmakers-etching and aquatint, woodcut, and copper engraving-but their mainstays are stonecut, stencil, and lithography. Collectors from around the world eagerly anticipate each annual release of Cape Dorset prints. Four of these remarkable prints are featured in this holiday card assortment. Contains five of each style with envelopes. Cards featured are Striped Goose, Snow Bunting, Cradled Loons, and Cuddle. Printed on recycled paper. 5 x 7 inches. Inside message: Season’s Greetings.
