Materials List
The Art Director will send out the materials list when provided by the tutor. Please remember that the list is “recommended”. If you are new to art or the medium being taught, it’s fine to bring a reduced selection from the list or less expensive brands. You will still enjoy the workshop and often a benefit of a workshop is learning what materials you want to buy, after discussion with the tutor and other students.
