Extra Supplies you can bring to class:

NOTE: This is a suggested supply list! You do not need to purchase all of these items for the class if you do not want to. At the very minimum you will need to bring a few paint brushes and some water color paints and glue. Additionally, I have suggested some brands that I like, but feel free to substitute them with what you may already have on hand or with your own preferred brands.

Some sort of glue/adhesive for collage:
