clipping and masking in Inkscape tutorial<\/p>\n
This is a video that came out of the recent workshop series on Inkscape I’m giving.

I did my research and decided to put together a short overview to talk about it the way I could have in class if I had been a bit more prepared. Hope this helps!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
