Opus Langley Demos This Weekend!

10/19/2016

I have three packing lists on the go. It's a little excessive I think!
Some of you might not know, but I am a Langley, BC girl. I grew up in the Lower Mainland and graduated from Langley Fine Arts School. When I had the opportunity to do some demos at the Opus Art Supplies store there, I jumped at the chance!

I also have a long history with Opus. I remember taking the bus all the way into Granville Island as a teenager and just being absolutely overwhelmed with the selection of art supplies available. I used to save my money up to make this trek and come home with mysterious bottles and packages filled with deep coloured pigments and tools that I couldn't wait to learn how to use. 

I still feel that way. I've been making a little list for ages of all the things I cannot wait to bring home with me this weekend.! 

If you are in the Lower Mainland, I'd LOVE to see you at these demos! They are free to attend but you do need to register, so please feel free to call or email the Opus Langley location to get your name on the list. 

These are the two demonstrations I will be doing:
