📖 Note on Books: The shop will be open if you'd like to purchase a brand-new book at Whitelam Books before class begins! If bringing a book from home, remember that edges will be painted—so pick a favorite copy or a display book you want to customize! Bring a hardcover or softcover with a spine thickness of at least 1 to 2 inches (roughly 300+ pages). Thicker books provide a wider canvas so your stenciled design truly pops! You can bring multiple books to stencil as a combined series of painted pages!
