PEBEO Linocut Printmaking with JACQUARD PearlEx Pigments
PEBEO Linocut Printmaking with JACQUARD PearlEx Pigments
Get ready to make your Lino prints sparkle, shimmer and shine with JACQUARD PearlEx powdered pigments and PEBEO Lino!
Due to their unique slow-drying nature, PEBEO’s water-based printmaking inks serve as the perfect base for JACQUARD’s intensely vibrant pigments. Print with a PEBEO Lino ink colour or a transparent base to start, then add another dimension to your prints with the iridescent effects of PearlEx.
PearlEx powdered pigments create metallic or pearlescent effects without being a real metal – they will never tarnish or fade! It is a safe, inert pigment that exhibits extreme colourfastness and stability.
Join PEBEO Brand Ambassador Max Black to learn how you can integrate these two products into your printmaking practice! No printmaking experience necessary! All are welcome!
Experience every step of the printmaking process, from transferring your design to Lino, then carving and finally printing your artwork. Learn tips and tricks on creating a clear print, mixing PearlEx into your inks, and creating effects using different colour combinations.
As always, all students who register for Max’s courses will receive a downloadable PDF project booklet after the workshop, allowing them to take what they’ve learned and recreate it at home in their own studio!
Bring your questions and creative ideas!

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.

Absolutely. Use the community chat to ask demo-related questions. Our host will relay them to the artist as time allows.
When will I be let in from the Zoom waiting room?
We open the room right at the start time. Arrive a couple of minutes early to avoid delays.
