-
Do I need to bring anything?
For most workshops, everything is provided. Just bring yourself. A few book-based workshops ask you to bring your own book:
Bedazzled Books: any hardcover or paperback you’d love to transform.
Stenciled Pages: a hardcover or paperback about 300+ pages thick, since thicker books give you more edge to paint. It can be multiple books as well.
When a workshop is hosted at a bookstore, you can usually pick up a new book there before class. Each listing says exactly what to bring.
-
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy. Dye, paint and ink workshops can leave marks, and we’ll let you know if old shirt is a good idea. We provide aprons for the more messy workshops.
