A printer will be helpful for this workshop. If you do not have one, you can make it work by using your computer/phone for the reference images, but you will need to be more creative with the “twist” exercises. 

I use an HP all-in-one printer, it goes through ink ridiculously fast, but prints well. 

 

I will do my best to share the materials I use for each demo with that lesson. There might be a few supplies you want to buy, but you do not need to get everything on this list. The basics are always good to have, plus a few favorites.

“Whatever the medium,

…there is the difficulty, challenge, fascination, and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials.”
