History
Carl Heywood was a Canadian master printmaker, painter, fibre artist and teacher of printmaking whose work has been shown across North America and Europe. He was born on June 6, 1941 and grew up in Chesley, Hanover and Galt, Ontario (now Cambridge). He studied at the Ontario College of Art, graduating in 1963. There he learned woodblock printing with Frederick Hagan; and at the end of his fourth year, screen printing which he immediately recognized as the right medium for him. He initially taught art at high schools in Ontario, but went on to study etching with Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17 in Paris from 1967 to 1969. There, he learned a technically and aesthetically different way of working. In 1974, he began teaching printmaking at Queen's University at Kingston, working there with Otis Tamasauskas beginning in 1980. Among his many students was Julie Voyce. He retired in 2006 to become a Queen’s University Professor Emeritus as he continued to explore and gain new skills through new technology. He died in Montreal on December 1, 2022, at the age of 81.
