Cyanotype Jacquard : Apprenez à créer de magnifiques tirages avec Alex Preston !
Cyanotype Jacquard : Apprenez à créer de magnifiques tirages avec Alex Preston !
Effectuer des réactions chimiques en cyanotypie semble assez sophistiqué, mais c'est plus facile et plus sûr que vous ne l'imaginez. Maintenant que la plupart d'entre nous disposons de vastes bibliothèques numériques de nos photographies, la cyanotypie offre une nouvelle façon de donner à vos photos numériques une touche personnelle et artistique. Nous verrons le processus d'enduction et d'impression des ombres d'objets solides (photogrammes) et de vos propres négatifs numériques. L'exposition est la meilleure partie, et nous verrons comment la réaliser avec et sans le soleil. Rejoignez-nous pour apprendre à réaliser sans effort de magnifiques impressions de qualité artistique avec les outils de cyanotypie de Jaquard. Nous laissons le soleil faire le travail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to register in advance?
Yes—most events require registration to reserve your spot. Free demos with limited space can fill up quickly, so we recommend signing up early.
What’s included in a paid vs free event?
Paid events may include hands-on instruction, materials, and exclusive product offers. The details will be listed on the event page.
Free events may include a short, informative session led by an artist—perfect for picking up techniques, learning about materials, and sparking inspiration. You’re welcome to paint along, but it’s not required.
Will I get a recording if I miss an online event?
No. These demos are live-only. If recorded, the footage is gifted to the artist and not shared publicly.
Can I attend an online event if I don’t live in BC?
Yes! Our online events are open to artists across Canada and beyond.
Where are events held?
We host events both in-store at select Opus locations and online via Zoom or other platforms. The location and format will always be clearly stated.
I registered but didn’t receive a confirmation email. What should I do?
Check your junk or spam folders first. If you’re still unsure, email Pamela Mark at pmark@opusartsupplies.com to confirm your registration.
What’s the difference between free and paid events?
Free events are short, demo-based sessions led by professional artists—great for inspiration and learning.
Paid events offer deeper, hands-on instruction with more time, materials, or exclusive access. They’re ideal for artists looking to grow their skills.
Some paid events are free or discounted for Artist and Creative Tier Members.

We open the room right at the start time. Arrive a couple of minutes early to avoid delays.
