Supply List
Experience level: All
No Sewing Machine needed
FABRIC
- 5 yards of white pfd cotton cloth. PFD cloth is prepared for dyeing, and can be purchased at DharmaTrading.com or e-quilter.com. Cotton broadcloth or print cloth is fine. A linen weave will not be effective for some of our techniques. Smoother fabrics are preferable. Carol will email about fabric preparation (soda- soaking) ahead of class.
- Optional: 1 yard of smooth silk, or a couple china silk scarf blanks
- Optional: Sheer silk organza, 1 or 2 yards
ART/ OFFICE SUPPLIES
- notebook and pen
- Sketchbook about 9 x 12 that will withstand wet media (eg ink, paint, markers, etc.) An example is the Canson XL Mixed Media, but the brand is not important.
- stapler and staples
- Markers and pens of all sizes and types that you have. A variety of tip sizes is helpful. Color is not important. All black is fine.
- Pins, for pinning work to wall
- scissors to cut paper and plastic
- small pair scissors or snips
- Exacto knife and small self-healing mat (about 9×12)
- Silkscreens: at least 2 blank screens, 12 x 16” These are small enough to fit inside a suitcase. Carol will send Amazon links to these ahead of class.
- A variety of cheap brushes from fine to wide. Chip brushes are good.

INSPIRATION
- Inspirational quotes that have meaning for you. Just a few favorite poems, journal writings, sayings. Nothing too long…a sentence to a paragraph
