What you will learn

What we supply for class use

What you should bring

*Although the ink is water soluble and does wash off/out, it may depend on the type of fabric you are wearing. It's not a messy project, but it's better to be on the safe side and dress appropriately.

Other information

While the class is not dangerous, we will be working with safe but --sharp-- tools.  Injury is not likely to happen if you are carving safely (which we will teach you), but there is the chance you may nick your finger.  We will have a full first aid kit on hand if this should happen.  

We also would appreciate your consent to use photography from the class. You may opt in or out.  If you choose to opt out, please let us know.
